Can CGT be deferred in this instance?

Posted 27 February 2014

As a pensioner I have sold 2 flats that were getting too difficult to manage long distance. I have re-invested the proceeds in ETFs. Both these instruments were/are meant to be sources of retirement income. Do I have to pay CGT or can it be deferred until I draw from my ETFs?

Unfortunately not. You would need to have reinvested in other properties in order to delay the CGT effects.
