Capital Gains Tax

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is applied on the increase in value of an asset from the time it is acquired to its disposal. Individuals are entitled to an annual Capital Gains Tax exemption.

What is Capital Gains Tax?


Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is the tax applied on the increase in value of an asset from the time it is acquired to its disposal. This disposal can be through a sale or even as a gift. Each individual is entitled to an annual CGT exemption, which can be used to offset any gains made within that same tax year.

Capital Gains Tax Returns for UK Residential Property


When you dispose of UK residential property, you are required to report the gains to HMRC within 60 days of completion. We assist with calculating these gains, advising on deductible expenditures, and preparing and filing returns on your behalf.

Advanced Capital Gains Tax Planning


We provide advice on potential Capital Gains Tax liabilities before you dispose of any chargeable assets, whether they are chattels, land, property, or shares. Our planning services aim to help mitigate your CGT exposure where possible.

Business Asset Disposal Relief (Formerly Entrepreneur’s Relief)


If you are selling your business or shares in a trading company, you may qualify for Business Asset Disposal Relief. This relief allows you to pay a lower CGT rate of 10% on the first £1 million of gains. We will determine your eligibility for this relief and assist in calculating the gain.

Business Asset Rollover Relief


When one chargeable business asset is sold and another purchased, you may be eligible for rollover relief from Capital Gains Tax. Our team can advise you on your eligibility and explain the benefits and tax implications.

Business Asset Holdover Relief


If you are transferring assets to family members without receiving any consideration, this still counts as a disposal for Capital Gains Tax purposes. Holdover relief may apply, deferring CGT if certain conditions are met. We can review the conditions and prepare the necessary holdover claim forms.

Exchange of Joint Interests in Land/Property


When individuals jointly own land or buildings and decide to reorganise their holdings so that each person becomes the sole owner, Capital Gains Tax relief may be available. We provide advice on the resulting CGT liabilities and how to apply relevant reliefs.
