Capital Gains—Good news for retailers

24 January 2008

The KBSA has welcomed the announcement by Alistair Darling that the plans to introduce a single rate CGT of 18% and cease taper relief from April 08 have been revised.

“We are delighted that this announcement has been made,” says KBSA Treasurer Phil Gibson, who also runs an In-toto kitchen showroom in Cheam.

“The introduction of the new 10% rate on gains up to £1 million is great news for KBB retailers.

“Small businesses have faced months of uncertainty since the Chancellor first announced changes to CGT last October. Apart from having a direct impact on those entrepreneurs looking to sell we should also benefit from a more positive attitude to investment in small businesses.”
