If you’ve sold, are in the process of selling, or are looking to sell a residential property, you must consider the tax liabilities which may arise on any increase in the property’s value since you acquired it. In the UK, any property sold where the owner has not used it solely for the purposes of their private residence will be subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) which will be due for payment 30 days after the sale has been completed if sold before 27th October 2021 or 60 days if sold after this date.
In order to calculate the tax due to HMRC, you will need to calculate your gain after deducting relevant costs and consider if any tax reliefs are available. The calculation can be complex, especially for those that have used the property for business, have made improvements or alterations.
