  • Switching ETFs

    Hi, I currently own an accumulating ETF in a taxable account. The ETF is ‘iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF - Accumulating’. Ticker CSPX. iShares also offer a distributing ETF ‘iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF - Distributing’. Ticker IUSA. Both ETFs hold the exact same assets. I would like to switch to their distributing version. My question is - can I sell the accumulating ETF then buy the distributing ETF without crystallising a gain for CGT purposes? Many thanks
