Most gains over the personal allowance of £11,300 are eligible for the full rate of Capital Gains Tax (CGT). Due to this, many people seek to safeguard their investments by making CGT efficient investments. These are normally held in a self-invested personal pension (SIPP) or an individual savings account (ISA), both of which are very tax-efficient ways of investing money in terms of CGT. However, there are also some additional ways to safeguard investment and pay as efficient an amount of CGT as possible. This can come in the form of trusts and schemes and investment in certain assets that have additional exemptions.

Maintaining your NIC contributions Covid-19
If a person already has 35 qualifying years or is likely to do so by the time that they reach state pension age, missing a year will not adversely affect their state pension entitlement. However, if they have less than 35 years (and will be able to reach the minimum 10 years needed for a reduced state pension by the time that they reach state pension age) making voluntary contributions can be worthwhile.

While any gain on the sale of a property that has been the taxpayer’s main residence throughout the period of ownership is covered by private residence relief, the flip side is that if the main residence is sold at a loss, the loss is not an allowable loss for capital gains tax purposes.
