Indexation Allowance
EXAMPLE: The gain before indexation is £97,000. The indexation
allowance is applied to the historic costs, here the acquisition cost and
the incidental costs of the acquisition (£328,000 in total) to remove the
inflationary element of the gain and deducted from this to give the
chargeable gain. £328,000 x 0.070 = 22,960, 97,000 – 22,960 = 74,040.
