  1. Taper relief used to increase by 5% for every year that you held an asset (it no longer applies as of April 2008).
  2. If you have any choice whether to make a loss in one tax year and a gain in another then make sure that you make the loss in the earlier year - it can be carried forward and set against the next year's gain. It cannot be carried back and set against a gain in an earlier year.
  3. Make sure you get relief for your capital losses. These can be transferred between spouses just like gains, so if one of you has large gains and the other has large losses, transfer the holdings between yourselves before disposal in a way that will allow both of you to use your exemptions.
