    Zoyla’s capital gains tax (CGT) liability for the tax year 2016/17 is calculated as follows:

    Gain (£)
    Ordinary shares in Minor Ltd 98,400
    Ordinary shares in Major plc 44,100
    Annual exempt amount (11,100)

    131,400

    CGT: 10,600 at 10% 1,060
    120,800 at 20% 24,160

    25,220
    20. Assuming that the tax rates and allowances for the tax year 2016/17 continue to apply, how much CGT would Zoyla have saved if she had delayed the sale of her 16,000 ordinary shares in Major plc until the following tax year?
    A. £1,060 B. £2,170 C. £3,280 D. £2,220

    answer:
    20. C
    2016/17 2017/18
    £ £
    Gain 98,400 44,100
    Less: annual exempt amount (11,100) (11,100) Taxable amount 87,300 33,000
    CGT payable
    10,600 at 10% 1,060 1,060
    76,700/22,400 at 20% 15,340 4,480 Total £21,940 16,400 5,540
    CGT saved £25,220 – 21,940 = 3,280

    It is very difficult to follow the information above but have you given me all the information in the question – for example about taxable income or to assume that taxable income was the same in 2017/18 as it was in 2016/17??
