CGT (Capital Gains Tax)

Tax on the profit when you sell an asset (shares, investment property, crypto).

What newcomers get wrong

Hold most assets >12 months and you get a 50% discount. Your principal place of residence is generally CGT-exempt. Crypto IS subject to CGT — every disposal is a CGT event, even crypto-to-crypto swaps.
