If you have realisable assets such as shares it may be possible to reduce your overall capital gains tax bill by taking actions on or before 5 April 2016.  For example, it may be beneficial to realise capital gains up to £11,100 (the annual exemption), or to realise any capital losses.  Utilising husband and wife transfers (free of capital gains tax) or making certain investments can also reduce capital gains tax.
