I am returning to the UK having been abroad and non-resident for six years.
Do I get the full capital gains allowance for the tax year I return, or if I return say half way the year through do I only get half?
I am only concerned about gains on financial investments, not property.

Thanks.

you probably need expert advice on your particular situation, but I found these two articles which indicate that capital gains can be treated as a split year.

Thanks, Angie. There seem to be plenty of articles explaining that the year of return can be split into resident and non-resident parts, but none of them that I have found say whether the full CGT allowance is available for the part year.
Your second article says rather ominously, 'The rules on split year and capital gains are very complex'. Not very helpful!
