This is the amount of profit you can make from&nbsp;an asset&nbsp;this tax year before any tax is payable. If your assets are owned jointly with another person, you can use both of your allowances, which can effectively double the amount you can make before CGT is due.&nbsp; If you are married or in a civil partnership, you are free to transfer assets to each other without any CGT being charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your taxable income (your income minus your Personal Allowance and any Income Tax reliefs) is \u00a320,000 and your taxable gains are \u00a312,600. Your gains are not from residential property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, deduct the Cap Gains tax-free allowance from your taxable gain. For the 2020 to 2021 tax year the allowance is \u00a312,300, which leaves \u00a3300 to pay tax on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add this to your taxable income. Because the combined amount of \u00a320,300 is less than \u00a337,500 (the basic rate band for the 2020 to 2021 tax year), you pay Capital Gains Tax at 10%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means you\u2019ll pay \u00a330 in Capital Gains Tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How much you could save?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head over to our instant online quote tool to see how much you could save on your accounting! <a href=\"https:\/\/accountants247glasgowsouth.co.uk\/get-a-quote\/\">CLICK HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Capital gains tax is paid on the profit you make when you sell an asset that has increased in value.&nbsp; From 6 April 2018, the amount of profit individuals can earn tax free will increase from \u00a311,300 to \u00a311,700.
