Trying to work out the pros and cons of CGT vs Exit Tax (through a Life Office)

CGT pro: Allowance of €1,270 and can offset previous losses against future gains
con: Self-Assessment, also have to pay income tax on dividends, investment trusts are more volatile than SICAVs

Exit Tax pro: If under the same provider, gains & losses are netted under one policy, taxed at source, dividends are received within the fund
con: 8th year deemed disposal, can't carry losses forward between providers

Any other pros or cons?
