    how come you cannot do such a simple calculation yourself, google would have shown you how in nanoseconds

    the answer is nil, the 50% partner can work out their own tax

    Hi,
    Sale Price £170,000

    Less Purchase Price £127,000
    Less costs £ 2,500

    Total Gain £40,000

    25% ownership £10,000 No CGT to pay as PA is £11,100
    50% ownership. £20,000

    After PA, £8,900 is liable to CGT but the rate will depend on other income - either 18% or 28%
