Capital Gains Tax Planning for Individuals & Families

Reliefs, Timing Strategies & Planning Opportunities

In this expert-led discussion, Warren & Partners examine the practicalities of managing Capital Gains Tax (CGT) — a tax head that can have substantial financial implications if not carefully planned. From timing the disposal of assets and using historic losses, to navigating intergenerational transfers and reliefs such as Entrepreneur Relief and Retirement Relief, this conversation highlights the importance of tailored advice and forward planning. The session also touches on CGT implications for business startups and funding through EIIS, emphasising the value of early engagement with your advisors.

Key topics include:

  • Timing asset disposals to align gains and losses within the same year
  • Using historical losses to offset current and future gains
  • Understanding intergenerational transfers and the reliefs available (e.g. Retirement Relief, Entrepreneur Relief)
  • Upcoming changes to Retirement Relief from 1 January 2025
  • How EIIS can support startups and offer income tax relief to investors
