This book looks in detail at how you can reduce capital gains tax in 2014/2015.
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.
It is fully up to date with the planned CGT changes from 6 April 2015.
