My annual income (salary + interest + dividend) is less than the personal allowance. Will the capital gain tax also can use this remaining of personal allowance of income tax? (i.e. will there be a portion of net capital gain be charged 0% tax which fall into the remaining of this personal allowance not used up for income tax ) ?

Hi YY WONG,
No. Income tax and Capital Gains Tax are separate taxes.
If you do not utilise all of your personal allowance against income, the the balance is lost.
You will still have the full basic rate band available, which means that the lower rate of capital gains (10% or 18%) will apply against the gain up to the amount of basic rate band available, with the balance taxed at 20% or 28%.
The capital gains rates of 18% and 28% related to property gains and 10% and 20% for all other types of capital gains.
Thank you,
