Capital Gains Tax in Northern Ireland 2026-27

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a reserved matter in the UK, meaning it is set by the UK Parliament and applies identically in Northern Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland. The CGT rates for 2026-27 are 18%/24% for residential property and the same 18%/24% for shares and other assets, with a £3,000 annual CGT allowance.

Northern Ireland uses the same Income Tax rates as England (20%/40%/45%), so the basic rate band threshold for capital gains calculations is the same: £50,270 combined income and gains.

CGT must be reported to HMRC via Self Assessment (or the UK Property Reporting Service within 60 days for residential property sales). Assets held in an ISA or SIPP are exempt from CGT regardless of where in the UK you live.
