As of April 2025, the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) rate on the sale of business assets has increased from 10% to 14%. And if you’re planning ahead, the rate is set to rise to 18% in April 2026. This is an important change for anyone planning to sell business assets.
For example, if you sell a business asset and make a £20,000 gain, the tax at 14% would now be £2,800 that’s £800 more than before, when the tax rate was 10%. With the planned rise to 18%, that same gain would result in £3,600 in tax.
