CGT and Entrepreneurs Relief

CGT rise to 28 per cent and no reintroduction of taper relief is disappointing – entrepreneurs and investors should continue to push hard for the reintroduction of taper relief.

But the increase in entrepreneurs relief is to be welcomed. Entrepreneurs’ relief rate of 10 per cent has been extended to a lifetime limit of £5m.
