Taking on a practical approach to the subject and concentrating on the most commonly found transactions and reliefs, Capital Gains Tax 2020/21 is an invaluable title for those who deal with capital gains tax on a regular basis.
The latest edition examines the current legislation and HMRC guidance in a clear, comprehensive style and explores the following:
