What are the Capital Gains Tax rates for 2025/26?

For 2025/26, the CGT rates are 18% for gains that fall within the basic-rate income tax band, and 24% for gains above it. These rates apply to all asset types including property, shares, and crypto — the previously lower rates for shares (10% and 20%) were aligned with property rates in the October 2024 Budget. To work out your rate: add your total taxable gain to your total income for the year. The portion of the gain that falls within your remaining basic-rate band (up to £37,700 for most people) is taxed at 18%. Anything above that is taxed at 24%.
