Under the new regime the first £5,000 is tax free, after that the basic rate tax is set at 7.5%. Dividends at higher rate are taxed at 32.5% and 38.1% at additional rate tax. Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Capital gains tax was reduced from 18% to 10% at the basic rate, from 28% to 20% above basic rate of earning, although this reduction does not apply to residential property which will continue to be taxed at the previous higher rates.
