The main rates of CGT that apply to assets other than residential property and carried interest will increase from 10% to 18% (for Income Tax basic rate payers) and from 20% to 24% (for Income Tax higher rate payers). The capital gains tax changes are applicable for disposals made on or after 30 October 2024.
 

Business Asset Rollover Relief also known as CGT Rollover Relief allows for deferral of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on gains made when taxpayers sell or dispose of certain assets and use all or part of the proceeds to buy new business assets. The relief means that the payment of any tax on the gain of the old asset is postponed. The amount of the gain is effectively rolled over into the cost of the new asset and any CGT liability is deferred until the new asset is sold or otherwise disposed of.
