This measure will have effect for claims for relief made on or after the Budget 2022.
Current law
Current law is contained in sections 248A and 248E of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992.
Proposed revisions
Legislation will be introduced in Finance Bill 2022-23 to amend sections 248A and 248E of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992.
