The problem with phasing the withdrawal is that the CGT allowance is diminishing yearly by a factor of 2 anyway, £12k this year, £6k next etc. so while it will definitely make a saving, it’s not substantial enough compared to 20% share drop. Not that I’m anticipating that (!) but the risk adverse side of us would prefer the cash to plough into the mortgage etc
@user75580 Thanks, she’s chasing HR to get some detail, it’s bonkers they’ve never given her an info pack.
Fair enough - would still be worth you looking at if you have any losses that you could bank against the gains. Easiest one would be from stocks and shares but think there are some other things like watches you can do similar with
