I was so happy to see this:
"From April 2016, the higher rate of Capital Gains Tax will be cut from 28% to 20% and the basic rate from 18% to 10%."
I spent hours working out the difference between selling before 6th April at 28%, and selling after 6th April at 20%, and it was tens of thousands.
And then I found:
"There will be an additional 8 percentage point surcharge to be paid on residential property and carried interest (the share of profits or gains that is paid to asset managers)."
Hours wasted. But I was so happy, until the bubble burst.0 -
