How it’s worked out
Gain = Proceeds − (Cost + buying/selling costs + capital improvements). Subtract any allowable losses. If BADR is ticked, the qualifying amount is taxed at 14% first. Then subtract the Annual Exempt Amount (£3,000) from the non-BADR portion and split the remainder across basic/higher CGT rates using your taxable income (after PA) to work out basic-band headroom.
Assumptions: Individuals, UK resident; estimates only. BADR lifetime cap not tracked here. Check HMRC guidance for your situation.
