    A UK taxpayer has disposed of four assets during the year. Which of the following
    gains could be subject to Capital Gains Tax?
    A The taxpayer purchased a large sum of Euros for use on holiday, which were
    not spent and were worth more than had been paid for them when converted
    back to Sterling.
    B The taxpayer had invested in shares issued by his employer and sold them at a
    gain.
    C The taxpayer purchased a rare model of sports car, but sold it soon afterwards
    at a profit because he found it difficult to drive.
    D The taxpayer sold his family home, realising a profit, in order to move to a
    smaller property.

    May I know why A,B and D is not accepted?

    Hi.
    B is the correct answer here.
    Options A, C and D are all examples of assets free from CGT in the UK (as listed in Chapter 3).
