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.

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.
