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.
