I am really struggling to understand the answer to the following question -

Taxpayer : Alison
Sold To : Friend
Proceeds : £33,000
Market Value : £25,000
Cost: £13,500
Other Taxable Income : £33,000
What is the CGT = ?

The answer is £990 but I have no idea how that figure has come about. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

    So you have a couple of different steps:
    1st you need the amount that can be taxed:

    Proceeds £33,000
    Cost £13,500

    Gain 19,500

    Less AEA - 12,300

    Chargable amount 7,200

    Next you need to work out under which rate the tax will be charged. Lower =10% Higher = 20%

    Lower band remaining = 37500 - 33000 = 4500 @ 10% = 450
    Higher rate = (7200-4500) = 2700 @ 20 % = 540

    Total tax = £990
