Capital Gains Tax has, on occasion, been described as a tax on successful people, most often by those who find their investment profits heavily taxed.
Investments involve putting in money you have already earned (and already had taxed), so finding your profits on your investment taxed again (at up to 28%) can be difficult to understand.
Having worked so hard to make these profits, the question becomes how you can keep the fruits of your labour without running afoul of the law.
This is precisely why Allen & Atherton has created this guide—to provide you with a reference point for capital gains tax, how it is applied, and how we can help you keep more, or even all, of your profits in accordance with existing laws.
