You鈥檒l get a tax-free allowance for each tax year, known as the annual exempt amount (AEA), if you鈥檙e liable to Capital Gains Tax in that year you will not qualify for an AEA if you make a claim for either:

• foreign income and gains regime (FIG)听
• Overseas Workday Relief (OWR)

You only pay Capital Gains Tax if your overall gains for the tax year (after deducting any losses and applying any reliefs) are above the annual exempt amount.

There鈥檚 one annual exempt amount for:

• most individuals who live in the UK
• executors or personal representatives of a deceased person鈥檚 estate
• trustees for disabled people

A lower annual exempt amount applies for most other trustees. Find out more about trusts and Capital Gains Tax.

Non-residents who dispose of a UK residential property are liable to Capital Gains Tax and, in most cases, get the annual exempt amount in the same way as UK residents. This is not available to companies who dispose of a UK residential property, as they may be able to claim other allowances.

Annual exempt amount limits

You can use your annual exempt amount against the gains charged at the highest rates to reduce the amount of tax you owe.

Tax year听	Annual exempt amount for individuals, personal representatives and trustees for disabled people	Annual exempt amount for other trustees
2025 to 2026	拢3,000	拢1,500
2024 to 2025	拢3,000	拢1,500
2023 to 2024	拢6,000	拢3,000
2022 to 2023	拢12,300	拢6,150
2021 to 2022	拢12,300	拢6,150
2020 to 2021	拢12,300	拢6,150

Executors and personal representatives

As a personal representative (an executor or administrator) for a deceased person鈥檚 estate, you may get the full annual exempt amount during the administration period.

The administration period is from the date of death until the date everything has been passed on to the beneficiaries.

You鈥檙e entitled to the annual exempt amount for the tax year in which the death occurred and the following 2 tax years. This means you can claim one annual exempt amount against gains in each of those years. From the next tax year and onwards you do not get tax-free allowance against gains during the administration period.

Trustees for disabled people

As a trustee for a disabled person, you should use the 鈥業ndividuals, personal representatives and trustees for disabled people鈥� amounts shown in the annual exempt amount section.

For Capital Gains Tax purposes, a disabled person is a person with a medical health condition or gets a qualifying benefit.

If you鈥檙e non-domiciled in the UK on and up to 5 April 2025

You may be non-domiciled in the UK if, for example you were born in another country and intend to return there.

If you鈥檙e a non-domicile, you may have claimed the remittance basis if you had income and gains from abroad and decided that it鈥檚 beneficial to be taxed when you bring the foreign income and gains into the UK, rather than when it arises. The remittance basis can only be claimed for tax years up to and including 2024 to 2025.

You鈥檒l not get the annual exempt amount for tax years in which you claimed the remittance basis.

Issues of domicile and tax on foreign gains are complicated.
