    a) Gain = £500,000
    Deduct annual exemption £12,300
    500,000 - 12,300 = £487,700
    Tax @ 10% = £48,770

    b) Sell for £350,000
    Buy for £325,000
    £25,000 not reinvested, so no relief on this
    Gain = £75,000
    Pay tax on £25,000 not reinvested, Rollover 75,000-25,000 = £50,000

    Why is the percentage 10%? Does it qualify for relief?

    The percentage is 10% as Samit qualifies for Investors relief which gives a CGT rate of 10% for gains up to £10 million over his lifetime.
