Capital Gains Tax

Whenever you make a gain, HMRC want a slice of the action. Most often we are calculating gains on land transactions but gains can arise in many places.
​
This is a complex area of tax and while at its core it can be simplified down to:
​
​
How much you get for the thing...
​
Minus how much you paid for the thing...
​
​
Times by tax rate of 20% (most assets) 28 (residential property)
​
The real complication come in the second part, how much you paid for the thing.
​
In the case of land or farming business asset, it normally comes with a long and rich history that may have involved numerous passing of hands, trusts, incorporations, and splits.
​
It's our job to work through the complication and get the right amount reported to HMRC which can be required in as little as 30 days for residential property.
