  • Uses precedents, examples of frequently used forms and worked examples to present a clear, practical picture of the operation of the law
  • Deals fully with the changes to CGT introduced in 2010/11 including the introduction of the 28% rate payable by personal representatives and trustees
  • Covers the implications of the 50% rate of income tax payable by many trusts
