Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a tax on profit made when you sell assets or investments. These can be anything from holiday homes to works of art, shares or the goodwill of a business.
Wine is not subject to UK Capital Gains Tax as the authorities look upon it as a wasting asset, so any profit derived belongs to the client!
Some Key points for tax free wine investment:
- You avoid trading status

- Keep records to justify your self assessment and make full disclosures on your tax return
