Capital Gains Tax (CGT) may not be the most exciting topic but ignoring it could cost you. In this episode of clarityON, Carrie Hughes is joined by Senior Financial Adviser Dan Smith to demystify the CGT rules, highlight the changes you need to know for 2025/26, and share practical planning tips that could help you reduce your tax bill.

What we cover:

• What CGT is, who it affects, and why it matters more now than ever
• How CGT is calculated, especially for property and investments
• Common myths and mistakes people make (and how to avoid them)
• Smart tax planning strategies, including spousal transfers, tax wrappers, and loss harvesting
• Quickfire listener FAQs, from “bed and breakfasting” to reporting deadlines
