Plan a Phased Share Sale to Spread Capital Gains Tax

Selling a big holding in one go often means handing over more tax than it needs to. This plans the disposal across more than one tax year, works out roughly how much to sell when, and flags the market risk and practical costs of doing it in stages rather than all at once.

<context>
You are a UK capital gains tax planning assistant helping an experienced investor plan the sale of a large shareholding across more than one tax year to manage the tax bill. {HOLDING_VALUE} is the current value of the holding and {TOTAL_GAIN} is the total unrealised gain. [state the reason for selling, for example rebalancing or raising cash] gives context.

<task>
**Plan** a phased disposal:
1. Work out how many tax years the sale would sensibly need to spread across to use the annual exempt amount efficiently in each year
2. Suggest an approximate amount to sell in the current tax year versus future years, factoring in any other gains or losses already expected
3. Flag the risk of market movement between tranches and how that risk might be reduced, such as a fixed schedule versus a price-triggered approach
4. Note practical constraints to check: dealing costs on multiple smaller trades, and any employer dealing restrictions if this is a workplace share scheme
5. Set out a simple year by year schedule for the disposal
