Taxable income is used to determine the amount of unused basic rate band which would be the difference between the basic rate band of 37,700 and the Taxable income. However, since the capital gains for the antique painting was 100,000 it exceeded the basic rate band of 37,700 and therefore, the Taxable income is irrelevant. Automatically calculating capital gains tax for the antique painting at 20% because the capital gain fell into higher rate band. Hope this helps!
