With all the RR admin who put together the report for the AGM, I presume some info has been leaked? I can imagine some investors giving a wee financial bonus for that info :-)
Mind you there is positivity in taxation, of course, and that depends on the priorities which the govt has planned which will not mitigate the level of poverty - that's for sure.
Well, the end of the financial year is approaching and with the substantial increase in the SP during that period many of us will have gone beyond the £12k capital gains tax allowance in the process of selling. Seems puzzling that we pay 20% which is effectively a 20% fall in the SP when we sell. Next year the CG allowance is £6k and with the prospect of a substantial growth in the SP a further loss of 20% in tax would seem to discourage us from all this heartache in trying to make some money.
