Hi martin lawson,
If the increase is due to you selling shares then only the annual exempt amount of £6000 is tax free.
Whether you withdraw or not is irrelevant if the shares have been sold as the gain still needs to be reported.
Please see guidance here:
Capital Gains Tax: what you pay it on, rates and allowances
Thank you.
