CGT timing query

[blueboys]

Hi,

About a year ago I sold my software system IP to a company.

The CGT for this (20%) is due to be paid in my personal tax return this coming January.

Rumours are, the Labour government will change/increase CGT in the October budget, probably taking effect immediately.

Will I still only pay the 20%, as the tax level should be per date of disposal of the IP?

Thanks!

There would be riots in the street if they made the legislation retrospective.
Any changes will be for next tax year( we hope).
