I recently looked at the questions posted for the tax year 2016/17. Not to sure if my answer is relevant at this point but this is what my analysis is:
The proceeds for the investment property being disposed of on October 1, 2017 falls within the 2017/2018 Tax year and is not applicable for CGT Computation in 2016/17.
The disposal of the painting on 1-Feb-2017 falls within the current 2016/2017 and hence CGT computation is applicable.
Disposal proceeds 10,000 Less: incidental cost of Disposal (2% fees) – 200 _______ Net Proceeds 9,800 Less: Cost -30,000 _______ Capital Loss in Current year -20,200
Hence, the Capital Loss B/F cannot be utilized due to a loss in the current year and the Annual Exempt Amount is wasted.
Kindly help me out with this question Im getting confused about the calculation of CGT Liability
