If you have total taxable income (including capital gains) below the personal allowance (but the capital gains are above the annual exempt amount), do you pay capital gains tax?
I.e. are you still classed as a basic rate taxpayer for paying CGT even if you are a non-taxpayer?

You are - totally separate taxes. If you have no earned income your capital gains will ‘use up’ the basic rate BAND.If you made a gain of 60000 you would pay zero on the first 12300, lower rate on the next 37700 and the higher rate on the remaining 10000.1
