Do I pay a different rate of CGT on property compared to shares?
No longer. Since the October 2024 Budget, CGT rates were aligned across all asset types. For 2025/26 the rates are 18% (basic rate) and 24% (higher rate) for property, shares, crypto, and other assets. Previously, gains on shares attracted lower rates of 10% and 20%. This change means the tax treatment is now the same regardless of what you're selling.
