Instead of increasing the residential property tax rates, the Chancellor opted instead to increase the main rates of CGT – the lower rate will rise from 10% to 18% and the higher rate will rise from 20% to 24%. The changes take effect from 30 October 2024. There are no changes to the residential tax rates, which remain at 18% and 24%. The rates continue at this level for 2025-26. The increases in the main rates of CGT means that this tax is charged at the same rates (18% or 24%) regardless of nature of the assets disposed. PLANNING NOTE: Landlords will be relieved that the higher residential rate will remain at 24% until at least 5 April 2026. However, where a landlord is planning to sell, it may be prudent to do so while the 24% rate remains available, as beyond April 2026 nothing is guaranteed. If you are considering disposals of assets affected by CGT please call so we can consider your options.
