Retail Prices Index (RPI)

Introduction

This table shows the monthly Retail Price Indices that are used for calculating the indexation allowance on capital gains.

Indexation was replaced by taper relief for individuals and trusts from April 1998 but continues to be applied to limited company capital gains.
