Payroll

Capital Gains Tax (CGT)

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is as the name suggests, Tax on any profit you have made from the sale or disposal of a capital asset.

This includes transactions involving investments or property, as well as a broader range of activities such as the gifting of assets.

Here's what you should keep in mind:

Capital gains events, such as the sale of investments or property, might not happen often and can be easy to miss. However, it's crucial to report most of these gains on your self-assessment tax return.

When selling a residential property in the UK, you must report and pay any Capital Gains Tax (CGT) owed within 60 days after the sale is complete. To avoid potential penalties and interest charges, make sure to check your CGT obligations before selling.

If you're giving away a capital asset, you'll be considered to have sold it at its market value, which could result in a tax bill, even if you didn't receive any payment for it.

Reporting a loss from selling an asset can be beneficial too. It allows you to document the loss, which you might be able to use to reduce your tax liability in the future.

Not every disposal or sale will result in a CGT bill, as some assets are exempt altogether and the transfer of assets between spouses who are living together and gifts to charities are usually tax free.

Calculating your capital gain can be tricky, but we're here to remove the stress of making mistakes. We'll also guide you through meeting your reporting requirements to avoid any fines or interest charges.

By informing us about your transactions early in the planning process, you can maintain control and potentially reduce the tax you owe. With our assistance, you'll ensure that you pay only the necessary tax and take full advantage of any reliefs you're eligible for.
