What Is Capital Gains Tax?

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a tax on the profit you make when selling a property that isn’t your main home — including buy-to-lets, second homes, and inherited properties. You’re taxed only on the gain, not the sale price.

 

How Does

Capital Gains Tax Impacts Your Profit

Here’s how a typical property sale can trigger thousands in tax — unless every deduction and relief is applied correctly.

Timing matters. A well-timed claim can unlock hundreds of thousands instantly — or delay your benefit for decades.

Do You Need to Pay Capital Gains Tax?

You may be liable for CGT if you’ve sold or plan to sell:

  • A buy-to-let or second home

  • An inherited property

  • A commercial property not used as your residence

  • A home you lived in part-time or rented out

Even if you’ve already sold — it’s not too late to fix errors or reclaim overpaid tax.

Why Use a CGT Specialist?

But My Accountant Handles This… Right?

Not always. Most accountants aren’t trained in property-specific reliefs or 60-day reporting rules.

A property tax specialist understands:

  • CGT law & HMRC guidance

  • Private Residence & Lettings Relief

  • Spousal structuring and elections

  • Timing strategies to reduce tax

 

One wrong move could cost you thousands.

We’ve seen it happen — and fixed it.
