Following last months Budget the Chancellor, George Osborne, said that the 28% CGT rate introduced in the Budget will remain in place for at least the length of this parliament.
During his address of the Treasury Select Committee today, Mr Osborne said that the previous rate of 18% (and taper relief) had encouraged abuse of the CGT system.
He said that he regards the change as permanent and he is not planning to revisit this decision in this parliament and it was a hole that needed to be plugged.
Responding to questions about how he came to the 28% figure, Mr Osborne said ‘we kept it at 18% for basic rate taxpayers, which is around half of the people who pay CGT, and raised it to 28% for higher rate tax payers.’

The new coalition government’s first Budget was held on Tuesday 22 June 2010. Due to the political and financial situation, this was one of the most talked about Budgets in recent times. The speculation is now over and we know the changes.
You can download our budget summary right here – 2010 Budget Summary.
Whilst the Budget has been covered extensively on the national news and in the press, we have prepared this summary to outline the tax issues that we hope are of most common interest.
