The tax implications for creating an Investment Plan is the same as if you were to buy individual stocks or ETFs separately. This is because your Investment Plan still invests in assets which are subject to Capital Gains Tax in the UK. Therefore, as per the government's website, you may have to pay Capital Gains Tax if you make a profit (‘gain’) when you sell (or ‘dispose of’) some or all of the assets within your Investment Plan. The amount of capital gains tax you pay will depend on your income and the amount of profit.
