CGT Rate

I’m aware that the rates of CGT increased with effect from 30 October 2024 following the autumn budget.

If I disposed of assets before 2024 that created a CGT liability, will I be taxed at the old rate (20%)?

I ask as I have liabilities both before and after the change, both of which are within the 2024/2025 tax year.

I’m trying to prepare for the tax bill!

    The CGT rate is the rate on the day the contract is signed.

    You’re a higher rate taxpayer?
