    This is the question: Innocent and Nigel, a married couple, both have shareholdings in Cinnamon Ltd, an unquoted trading company
    with a share capital of 100,000 £1 ordinary shares.
    Innocent has been the managing director of Cinnamon Ltd since the company’s incorporation on 1 July 2004,
    and she currently holds 20,000 shares (with matching voting rights) in the company. These shares were
    subscribed for on 1 July 2004 at their par value.
    Nigel has never been an employee or a director of Cinnamon Ltd, and he currently holds 3,000 shares (with
    matching voting rights) in the company. These shares were purchased on 23 April 2008 for £46,200.
    Either Innocent or Nigel will sell 2,000 of their shares in Cinnamon Ltd during March 2013 for £65,000, but
    are not sure which of them should make the disposal. For the tax year 2012–13, both Innocent and Nigel have
    already made disposals which will fully utilise their annual exempt amounts, and they will each have taxable
    income of £80,000

    While calculating the answer for, if innocent disposed the 2000 shares, the answer uses 10% as the cgt rate. Why? Isnt the basic band already used up if her taxable income is already 80,000 pounds?

    thanks

    I think you need to fully study the OT notes and lectures before you attempt questions as the reason for the 10% rate is the availability of entrepreneurs’ relief. I am also concerned that you are attempting a question where the relevant tax year is 2012/13!! You must only use FA 2018 material!
