According to the experts, approximately out of 1 million buy-to-let investors and 250,000 second home owners shall be coming under the queue for CGT at the higher rate of 28 per cent, making them liable to pay the same even if they come under the basic rate taxpayer’s slab.

In the announcement made by George Osborne, the CGT shall ground at 18 per cent for the one, falling under the slab of basic rate taxpayers and inclining to 28 per cent for the higher-rate taxpayers. Further, he announced that the tax-free porch shall remain at £10,100 after the substantial pressure from the Conservative backbenchers.

However the changes are being embraced by many as they are less sharp as it was expected and partly defended the long-term shareholders. While on the other hand, the accountants have swayed the alarms regarding the basic-rate taxpayers which could be mislead and contradicted by Mr. Osborne's statement during the Budget.

The National Landlords Association believes that many of the Britain's buy-to-let landlords, while selling their investment, may fall into the higher 28 per cent rate, as most of them are long-term investors who are waiting on the profits of £10,100.
