Dear Sir or Madam, I have question regarding CGT Individuals-Reliefs, Chapter 23, example 2 of Course notes, page 128. When we calculate cap.gain not qualifying for enterpreneur’s relief, we have taxable gain 64900 (100000-25000-10100) .Anne had taxable income 18000, so unused basic rate band id 37400-18000=19400. Why we charge full amount of 64900 at rate 28%, but not 19400@18% and 45500 @28%? Thank you!
This is because the gain qualifying for ER , although taxed at 10% , uses up the remaining basic rate band so there is no basic rate band remaining for the gains not qualifying for ER Hope this helps
