    The lack of CGT means that you can do very frequent trading without having to keep CGT records. That's potentially a large administrative headache removed.

    Yeah but you would have to bear in mind if like me you did not have a large stash of ISA funds to transfer in, trading costs would be very restrictive, if your "very frequent" was anything like mine since position size would be small.
