Real Estate, Capital Gains Tax Made Real Simple

What qualifies as a specified asset — immovable property, marketable securities and the boundaries of CGT's reach.
Actual and deemed disposals, involuntary disposals and the full range of events that trigger a CGT liability.
Gross proceeds versus base cost — how the raw capital gain is computed before applying deductions and rates.
Qualifying improvements, incidental costs of disposal, inflation allowances and other permissible deductions.
CGT rates for immovable property and marketable securities, worked calculations and current Finance Act rates.
Principal private residence relief, small business rollover, and all other statutory CGT exemptions.
Transfers between associated companies, between spouses, business re-organisations and rollover relief provisions.
