Capital Gains Tax easy question (hopefully!)

Options
Hi. I invested £6,500 into a fund in 1999. It's now worth £16,500. What's the most I can sell of this fund (in 23/24) without having to pay any CGT? Thanks.

    If you sell 60% of your holding (£9,900) you will have made a gain of £6,000 over the original value of £3,900 and no CGT will be payable.
