The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make it her policy to ring-fence Business Asset Disposal Relief in the upcoming Budget.

Answered by James Murray

At Autumn Budget, the government announced that it would maintain Business Asset Disposal Relief, with its £1 million lifetime limit. The Chancellor also announced that the Capital Gains Tax rate for Business Asset Disposal Relief will increase from 10% to 14% from 6 April 2025, and will increase again to match the lower main rate at 18% from 6 April 2026.
