Over the last few years, the Government has been steadily reducing the
annual tax free amount of gains an individual can realise before CGT
kicks in. In 2022/23 it was £12,000, today it is £6,000, from April it
will drop to £3,000. This means that a landlord disposing of property
and realising a gain will still likely pay more tax at 24 per cent
than they would have two years ago even with the CGT rate at 28 per
cent.
Thanks for posting this. Isn't this designed to shore up the current state of the market by keeping small landlords in the game?After all, why sell a property if you can't realise a windfall?
