The capital gains is the same for Income and Accumulation units. The latter gets "notional" dividends, which still incur dividend tax in the UK in general trading accounts, even though not paid. The notional dividends reduce the amount that is capital gains on selling.

However, accumulation units notional dividends don't show up in transactions, and either you have to wait for the tax certificate to be created months after the end of the tax year, or calculate the dividends/equalisation amount, or capital gains with the dividends as an "allowable expense" if wanting the information sooner.

So when they are taxable, income units are easier to see this information sooner, but no change the tax position (at least with UK tax).

Capital gains will be much easier to calculate without the dividends rolled up in the fund price.
