Chargeable persons
Chargeable person can be defined as a tax payer who is obliged to pay
statutory charges on the benefit earned on the disposal of assets (Dowell,

are capital in nature. On certain assets, exemption is provided by
government such as government securities, car, investment in personal
equity plan etc (McGuire, 2013). Further, liability for capital gain tax is
payable if value of disposal asset is more than equal to 6,000. In this
transfer of shares other NISA, PEP or ISA and business assets are also
taxable.

accounting year. Further, general due date of capital gain tax liability is 31st
January after the taxation year (Preshaw, 2015).

This aspect shows that method of taper relief is more appropriate for
client because they are not able to take benefit of indexation because asset
is purchased after 1998.

to pay capital gain tax because there is situation of net loss. Benefit of this
loss can be taken by organization in next accounting year. In situation of

example, if there will be capital gain be of amount to 500 then computation
