Capital Gains Tax

Clients may be subject to capital gains tax when they dispose of certain assets. It is therefore vital for advisers when dealing with those assets to fully understand when capital gains may arise and how they will be taxed. The use of reliefs, exemptions and allowances can be a valuable planning tool which may allow clients to defer gains or minimise the tax they will pay on them.
