What is Capital Gains Tax?

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is the tax payable on the profits individuals make on the sale of assets. Each year individuals’ have a CGT Annual Exemption up to which any gains made on the sale of assets will not be taxed. The CGT annual exemption for 2025/26 tax year is £3,000. CGT is then due at rates of 18% for basic rate taxpayers and 24% for higher and additional rate taxpayers. These rates also apply to sales of residential property.


These tax rates are substituted for gains from carried interest, which is taxed at 18% and 28%, and is increased to a flat rate of 32% irrespective of the individual’s unused basic rate band in 2025/26 before being subject to income tax from 2026/27 onwards.
