    The issue is, what we have seen over the past 18 months was completely unsustainable built upon yet more borrowing, printing money, low IR's etc. As I have said for the past 18 months is that the ahem.... 'recovery' will come to an end after the election.

    There have been what I consider to be some very bright 'bullish' posters on this forum, yet their failure to see what seemed to completely obvious as always had me puzzled. Reality I'm afraid, is here.

    I think the same comments were being made in Dec 2008, in fact one of your thankers was predicting a major crash 50% by Dec 2009 icon7.gif Oh but they didn't expect the govt/BOE to take any action, I suppose.

    Crikey, more homes for sale in July than in January. What a shocker!

    And HIPs were scrapped to add to the seasonal boost.

    they pay it if they decide to sell, thats why they were all saying landlords will panic and sell now to avoid paying 40 percent in future.

    There is a reasonable possibility that CGT will rise from its present 28% in the next budget.

    28% is very convenient for reaching 40%, with 2 further steps of 6% in successive years.

    Ive just been on holiday for a couple of weeks , what actually happened? there was loads of post's on here about landlords flapping and selling, having looked at the details it will only affect high tax bracket payers, so i dont think it will effect many landlords.

    CGT is calculated by adding the profit subject to CGT, together with gross taxable income in that tax year. Any profit in excess of the basic rate tax threshold is then taxed at the higher rate of CGT of 28%. Anything below at 18%.
