Autumn Statement: Capital Gains Tax exemption unchanged for 2012/13

Published: Tuesday 29 November 2011

The Government had previously announced that the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) annual exemption for 2012/13 would increase in line with the Consumer Price Index.
 
In today’s Autumn Statement the Chancellor reneged on this and instead announced that the CGT annual exemption for 2012/13 would remain at the 2011/12 rate of £10,600. The Chancellor said the freezing of the annual exemption will fund the introduction of the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme.
