Study Notes
CGT Computation for Individuals
- Starting Point: Disposal Proceeds - The total amount received from selling an asset.
- Deductions:
- Incidental Costs of Disposal: Costs related to the sale, such as legal fees or agent fees.
- Allowable Expenditure: The cost of acquiring the asset and any improvements made to it.
- Capital Losses: Any capital losses from previous years or the same tax year that can be offset against the gain.
- Annual Exemption: The CGT allowance that individuals can use to reduce their taxable gain (e.g., £3,000 for 2024/25).
- Final Calculation: Taxable Gains - The final amount on which CGT is calculated, after all deductions.
Mnemonic for CGT Computation
- DIA-CAT:
- D: Disposal Proceeds
- I: Incidental Costs
- A: Allowable Expenditure
- C: Capital Losses
- A: Annual Exemption
- T: Taxable Gains
CGT Computation for Individuals
- Disposal Proceeds: The initial amount received from selling an asset.
- Incidental Costs of Disposal: Costs directly associated with the sale, such as legal fees or agent fees. These costs are deducted from the disposal proceeds.
- Allowable Expenditure: Includes the original cost of acquiring the asset and any improvements made to it. This expenditure is subtracted from the remaining amount after incidental costs.
- Capital Losses: Losses from previous asset disposals, either in the same tax year or from previous years, can be deducted to offset any capital gains.
- Annual Exemption: A yearly allowance provided to individuals to reduce their taxable capital gains (e.g., £3,000 in 2024/25). This exemption is applied after capital losses.
- Taxable Gains: The remaining amount after all deductions (disposal proceeds, incidental costs, allowable expenditure, capital losses, and annual exemption) is the taxable gain on which CGT is calculated.
Mnemonic for Individuals (DIA-CAT)
- The mnemonic DIA-CAT helps remember the steps for calculating Capital Gains Tax (CGT) for individuals:
- D: Disposal Proceeds
- I: Incidental Costs
- A: Allowable Expenditure
- C: Capital Losses
- A: Annual Exemption
- T: Taxable Gains
CGT Computation for Individuals
- The CGT computation begins with Disposal Proceeds, the total amount received from selling an asset.
- Incidental Costs of Disposal such as legal fees or agent fees are deducted.
- Allowable Expenditure, representing the original cost of acquiring the asset and any improvements made to it, is further deducted.
- Capital Losses incurred in previous years or the same tax year can be offset against the gain.
- The Annual Exemption allows individuals to deduct a certain amount from their taxable gain, reducing their CGT liability.
- The remaining amount is the Taxable Gains, upon which CGT is calculated.
Mnemonic for CGT Calculation
- The mnemonic DIA-CAT helps remember the order of deductions:
- D: Disposal Proceeds
- I: Incidental Costs
- A: Allowable Expenditure
- C: Capital Losses
- A: Annual Exemption
- T: Taxable Gains
