This book looks in detail at how you can reduce capital gains tax in 2015/2016. It is fully updated for the 2015 Budget and 2015 Summer Budget. It starts off by looking at the CGT calculation. First the basic calculation, then it looks at the key elements in a little more detail. The CGT reliefs are one of the main ways that most people reduce CGT. We therefore look at all of the main reliefs in detail. There are lots of other CGT planning opportunities from using the humble annual exemption to the more exotic such as using offshore trusts. We cover all of these in this guide.
