In the tax year 2010/2011 the CGT allowance is £10,100 (2009/2010 £10,100)

This means that you do not have to pay tax on gains from buying and selling shares or other investments during the tax year up to that amount. Remember also that you do not normally have to pay tax on any gain you make when you sell your main residence.

If you have used your CGT allowance, don't forget your ISA allowance. Both a "Cash ISA" and a "Stocks and Shares ISA" can shelter capital gains on investments, for example unit trust holdings, worth up to £10,200 per year.
