How Capital Gains Tax is calculated
You pay Capital Gains Tax on the profit when you sell or otherwise dispose of an asset that's increased in value — not on the total amount you receive. Every individual has a £3,000 tax-free annual exempt amount for 2026/27. From 30 October 2024, gains on both residential property and other assets such as shares are taxed at 18% within your remaining basic-rate band and 24% above it, so how much of your basic-rate band is left after your income determines the split. Gains on your main home are usually exempt under Private Residence Relief.
