What Is Capital Gains Tax (CGT)?
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is the tax you pay on the profit (gain) made when you sell or dispose of an asset that’s increased in value. This includes property (excluding your primary home), shares, business assets, and personal possessions worth over £6,000.
You only pay tax on the gain, not the full sale price. But understanding CGT rules, reliefs, and exemptions can be complex that’s where our expert capital gains tax advice comes in.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need to report capital gains to HMRC?
You must report and pay any CGT due on UK residential property within 60 days of completion. For other assets, it’s due by 31 January following the tax year of disposal.
Can I offset losses against gains?
Yes. If you’ve made capital losses, you can offset them against gains in the same or future tax years to reduce your CGT liability.
I’m a non-resident do I still pay CGT in the UK?
In many cases, yes. Non-residents disposing of UK property are subject to UK CGT. We can help with compliance and tax efficiency for overseas clients.

Manisha has been a pleasure to work with, completing my end of year tax returns and always being on call to answer any questions I have had. Thank You!Posted on Alex BoltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first engaged Pearl Accountants in 2019 for my initial company, and since then I’ve trusted them with all three of my other businesses. Their professionalism, reliability, and expertise have consistently impressed me. They’re exceptionally well-suited for remote working, which makes them a perfect fit for today’s fast-moving, digital world. I originally found them through their Xero partnership, which immediately stood out during my initial search. More than just accountants, they’ve acted as real partners—especially during delicate moments, including the challenges of the pandemic. Their support has been invaluable. A special thank you to Manisha and Sidra for your outstanding work.Posted on Andrea SpadolaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Manisha Kalair is our appointed accountant, and we have been highly pleased with Manisha's services. Manisha is professional, reliable, and always willing to assist with any big or small questions. I highly recommend Pearl Accountants Limited for their competitive pricing, friendly approach, and strong work ethic.Posted on Jacqueline YuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I appointed Pearl Accountants few months ago as my previous accountants were unable to help with my ongoing HMRC matter. From the outset, Manisha has been transparent, professional and responsive. Phone calls are always answered/returned, I've had a good understanding of my complex case as everything is explained properly. Highly Recommend!Posted on Hassan GulzarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sandeep has been one of the best accountants I have ever come across, be it during my experiences at a company or setting up my own. He has been very responsive and prompt and was very knowledgeable when it came to challenging questions regarding trade. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in launching a business and getting their tax returns managed efficiently.Posted on Fatima AlAteeqiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Happy with the service receivedPosted on ChiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After several years working with a different accounting firm, we have transferred to Pearl Accounting as of January this year. Manisha has been our account manager, who was able to get all of our accounting matters in order, while making sure we understood the necessary aspects of accounting. We were able to contact her either by e mail or telephone to have any questions promptly answered and her advice during the situation with the Covid pandemic has been invaluable. We could not be happier with the services which we have received. I would definitely recommend Pearl Accountants, they provide a professional efficient service and a personal touch.Posted on Paolita Beach
