3. What is Capital Gains Tax (CGT)? • CGT is a tax charged on gains on the disposal of an asset • The tax rate is 0%,18% or 28% • Losses can be offset against future gains (need to be registered within five years of loss but carried forward indefinitely)

4. How does it work? • Calculation • Disposal proceeds • Minusany incidental disposal costs • Minus acquisition costs • Minus any incidental acquisition costs • Minus any allowable enhancement costs • Minus costs of establishing title = Gain or Loss!

5. How does it work? • Annual exempt amount (AEA) • £10,600 of gain relievable at 18% or 28% • Depends on individual’s other taxable income (not just CGT) • AEA – increase year on year (RPI from 2011/12) • Use it or lose it allowance

6. How does it work? - An example – post-Budget 2010 • George has £20,000 income after personal allowance • £50,600 gain • £10,600 AEA • £50,600 - £10,600 = £40,000 gain • £40,000 + £20,000 (income) = £60,000 • £35,000 (BRT threshold) - £20,000 (income) = £15,000 @ 18% = £2,700 • £60,000 - £35,000 (£20,000 income + £15,000) = £25,000 @ 28% = £7,000 = £9,700

7. How does it work? - Withdrawals • Section 104 holding and regular withdrawals • Replaces the last in first out rules • Brings old gains forward • Wider considerations when selling an asset • Aggregate acquisition price • Only one disposal cost • Need to consider same assets held on and off platform

8. Withdrawal is % of original capital & gain Part disposal Original Capital Gain

9. How does it work? - part disposals TheAoverAplusB formula Purchase price = original investment or revised base value after previouspart disposals Purchase price A A + B X A = value disposed B = value of remaining investment

10. How does it work? - An example • £100,000 investment x 10% growth • Value end of year 1 = £110,000 • Take £10,000 withdrawal Original base cost xA/A+B= £100,000 x £10,000= £9,090 £10,000 + £100,000 Gain =£10,000 – £9,090 = £910

20. Skandia’s capital gains reporting tool - Why does it not calculate tax? • Skandia does not know: • if the client has used some or all of their annual exemption • if the client has other losses in that tax year to use or carry forward • if the client has the same holdings held directly or on another platform which will impact their section 104 holdings • the tax rate suffered depends on the client’s income tax rate • Impact of any repurchases (bed and breakfast rules)

21.
