Capital Gains Tax (“CGT”) is chargeable on gains arising from the sale or disposal of assets by individuals, trustees and personal representatives.
Individuals resident in the UK are liable to CGT on worldwide gains, unless they are not domiciled in the UK, in which case they may be able to take advantage of the Remittance Basis.
It is important to seek professional advice as often CGT liabilities can be deferred, mitigated or even avoided with appropriate planning.
