  • How will paying into a pension reduce CGT?

    Hi All, Just seeking advice on CGT calculation and if it's possible to offer the amount by paying into a pension? I will give a hypothetical example if that helps: Salary 30,000 Dividends 20,000 Sell Business for 500,000 CGT @ 20% = 100,000 (Business not over 2 years old) All I want to know is, if I put 50,000 into my private/work pension, how will this lower my CGT? What relief do I get, will this put my CGT back into the 10% bracket of the remaining 450,000? How does it work exactly?
