    How to calculate CGT?

    Anyone know how to calculate CGT? Might be best to ask an accountant but...

    There is a personal allowance of $3K. Presumably one subtracts that from the £gain, then applies the appropriate tax rate.

    What if I have a loss that would be taxed at one rate 18% and a gain that would be taxed at 10%?

    Speak to your accountant who will be able to explain it to you based on your own personal situation, but this may help:
