Capital Gains Tax

Sold a property or asset? Let's sort your CGT

Capital Gains Tax can catch people off guard — especially when selling a second property, rental property, or business asset. We'll make sure you pay the right amount, not a penny more.

CGT doesn't have to be complicated

Capital Gains Tax applies when you sell (or dispose of) an asset that has gone up in value — most commonly a second home, a rental property, shares, or a business. The rules around what you owe, what reliefs you can claim, and when you need to report it can be confusing. We take care of the calculation, make sure you're claiming every available relief (including Private Residence Relief, Lettings Relief, and Annual Exempt Amount), and file the return on time so you avoid penalties.

What's included

Property disposals

Sold a rental property, second home, or inherited property? We'll calculate your gain and any reliefs that apply.

Private Residence Relief

If the property was ever your main home, you may be entitled to full or partial relief. We'll work out exactly what you can claim.

Business asset disposal relief

Selling a business or business assets? You may qualify for a reduced 10% CGT rate. We'll check your eligibility.

Shares & investments

Sold shares or investment assets? We'll calculate the gain, apply your annual exempt amount, and file the return.

60-day reporting for property

UK residential property sales must be reported to HMRC within 60 days. We'll make sure you don't miss the deadline.
