CG17483 - Indexation: example

TCGA92/S244

1 March 1983 R buys a field for £18,000.

A grant of planning permission increases its value.

1 March 1989 R sells part for £20,000. The balance is worth £120,000, so this is within the one-fifth limit of TCGA92/S242, and a claim is made, but as the proceeds exceed the consideration TCGA92/S244 applies.
