Capital Gains Tax

30 September 2005
Capital gains tax (CGT) on chargeable gains arising in the period 1 January to 30 September 2005 is due by 31 October 2005. CGT on gains arising in the period 1 October 2005 to 31 December 2005 will be due on or before 31 January 2006. The deferral of disposals to 1 October 2005 could defer a CGT payment date by up to 3 months. Furthermore, individuals with capital losses arising in the period 1 October 2005 to 31 December 2005 following gains arising in the first 9 months of the year are required to make a tax payment on 31 October 2005. It may be preferable, if possible, to ensure that capital losses are crystallised prior to 30 September in any given tax year.

This date does not generally apply to gains realised by companies.
