Taper Relief
For gains realised after 5 April 1998 by individuals or trustees, indexation allowance is frozen and the gain reduced by a tapering relief. The value of the taper relief depends on whether or not the asset is a business asset, and on the number of complete years the asset has been held after 5 April 1998 (with an additional "bonus" year for non-business assets held on 16 March 1998).
