CGT: A Significant Change on the Horizon

CGT: a significant change on the horizon

As we approach the upcoming tax year end, a significant change is on the horizon – the halving of the capital gains tax (CGT) allowance to only £3,000 from April 2024.

This change has direct implications for investors, already impacted by last year’s reduction from £12,300 to £6,000, particularly those with holdings outside of tax-advantaged accounts, such as those invested in General Investment Accounts (GIA).

This reduction in CGT allowance underscores the need for strategic adjustments in investment approaches to manage any potential tax liabilities and may increase the use of multi asset funds as advisers and clients look to manage liabilities going forward.

For GIA investors seeking a solution, the IBOSS OEIC Fund Range is already available as an alternative investment approach. The range, launched in 2016, mirrors our Core MPS asset allocation, and benefits from the same investment philosophy, research, and management team.

Investors have the flexibility to control and strategically time asset disposals to make optimal use of their annual allowances, with all recommended IBOSS investment changes being processed within the fund.

The IBOSS OEIC range is available across a wide range of platforms and products. More information is available here or you can directly contact a member of the IBOSS Business Development Team below to discuss or request more details.
