Selling your shares or investments? Wait 12 months and save 50% on the tax bill

Do you have some shares or other investments that you are thinking of selling? If you buy and sell within 12 months you will pay tax on the full gain. If you hold for 12 clear months, (including the day of purchase and the day of sale), you will be able to claim the general CGT discount, saving you 50% of any likely tax.
