What did you sell?

Pick your asset and see what applies.

Whether you have sold a second home, shares, a buy-to-let property or a business, the rules differ and so do the reliefs available. Select the asset you have disposed of and our Peterborough team will show you exactly what a Capital Gains Tax Return involves for your situation. It takes the guesswork out of reporting and helps you see the full picture before you file.

Selling a second home or buy-to-let

Gains on residential property that is not your main home are taxed at 18% or 24%. If the sale completed, you usually have 60 days to report it and pay the tax, so speed matters.

Key facts

Selling shares, funds or investments

Shares and funds held outside an ISA or pension can trigger a gain when sold. We apply the same-day, 30-day and Section 104 pooling rules so your cost base is right.

Key facts

Selling, swapping or spending crypto

Every disposal of crypto, including swaps between coins and spending, can create a gain. We rebuild your transaction history across exchanges and wallets into a record HMRC accepts.

Key facts

Selling a business or company shares

Selling your business or your shares in a company can be your biggest tax event. We check whether Business Asset Disposal Relief applies and plan the figures before you file.

Key facts

How it works

From sale to filed, without the stress.

We take the paperwork off your hands, from gathering completion statements and purchase records through to calculating your gain and submitting your Capital Gains Tax Return. Our Peterborough accountants keep you updated at each stage, so you always know where things stand and what happens next. No chasing, no last-minute panic, just a clear route to a filed return.

Tell us what you sold

Complete the short quote form or book a call. Share the asset, the sale date and roughly what you paid.

We calculate your gain

An accountant works out the gain, applies costs, allowances and reliefs, and tells you exactly what you owe.

We file and confirm

We submit your return or 60-day report to HMRC, send you the confirmation and explain how to pay.

What you'll need to hand

Missing something? Don’t worry. We’ll help you track it down.

Worked example

See how a gain becomes a tax bill.

Your gain is not simply the sale price minus what you paid, and understanding the deductions and allowances that apply can make a real difference. We walk you through each step, from disposal proceeds and allowable costs to reliefs and your annual exemption, so the final figure makes sense. You will see precisely how your Capital Gains Tax Return has been worked out before anything is submitted.

Reliefs & allowances

Legitimate ways to reduce your bill.

There are perfectly proper reliefs and allowances that can bring your Capital Gains Tax bill down, and missing them is one of the most common and costly oversights. Our Peterborough accountants review your circumstances carefully and apply everything you are entitled to, from private residence relief to business asset relief where relevant. The result is a Capital Gains Tax Return that is accurate, defensible and as tax-efficient as the rules allow.

01

Annual exempt amount

The first slice of your gains each tax year is tax-free. We make sure it is used.

02

Private Residence Relief

If the property was ever your main home, part or all of the gain may be exempt.

03

Business Asset Disposal Relief

Selling all or part of a qualifying business can attract a lower rate of tax.

04

Spouse transfers

Assets passed between spouses or civil partners usually create no gain or loss, which opens planning options.

05

Loss relief

Losses on other disposals can be set against gains now or carried forward for later years.

06

Allowable costs

Legal fees, stamp duty, agent fees and improvement costs all reduce your taxable gain.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Accotx on a HMRC reclaim and overall, they did ultimately deliver on their promise, which I appreciate. The process did take longer than any of us expected, partly due to external delays with the tax authorities, and partly because there were some hiccups in communication and follow-up. However, despite those challenges, they stayed professional and stuck to the original agreed terms. If you’re considering using them, be prepared to stay in regular contact to keep things moving along. They are absolutely capable, have the expertise and willing to work with you, and overall  improving their services over time. I would certainly return for any future needs.

He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail.

Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did.

Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly.

Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible.

Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow.

I would 100% recommend them.

Why choose us

Doing it yourself versus letting us handle it.

Filing a Capital Gains Tax Return yourself is possible, but the forms, deadlines and relief rules can quickly become confusing, especially if you have several disposals or a part-exchange involved. Handing it to our Peterborough team means your figures are checked, your reliefs are claimed correctly and your return is filed on time. It is the difference between hoping you got it right and knowing you did.

Common mistakes

What catches people out with capital gains.

Late reporting on residential property, forgotten allowable costs and misunderstood deadlines are among the issues that trip people up most often. Many sellers also assume their accountant or solicitor has dealt with the reporting when nobody actually has, which can lead to penalties. Our Peterborough accountants spot these risks early so your Capital Gains Tax Return is complete and submitted within the required window.

Missing the 60-day deadline

The clock starts at completion, not when you receive the money. Late reports can lead to penalties and interest.

Ignoring crypto-to-crypto swaps

Swapping one coin for another counts as a disposal, even if you never moved money into a bank account.

Forgetting allowable costs

Fees, stamp duty and improvement costs are often left out, which inflates your gain and your tax bill.

Not reporting losses

Losses must be reported to HMRC to be used later. Unreported losses can’t be carried forward.

Common questions

Capital Gains Tax Return FAQs

Answers to the questions people ask us most about Capital Gains Tax and reporting disposals to HMRC.

What is included in your Capital Gains Tax Return service?

Our service covers gathering and reviewing your disposal records, calculating your gain, identifying every relief and allowance you are entitled to, and preparing and submitting your Capital Gains Tax Return. We also explain the figures in plain English and keep you informed at each stage. If HMRC raises any queries afterwards, we are on hand to help you respond.

Who is this service for?

It is designed for anyone in and around Peterborough who has disposed of an asset and needs to report a gain, whether that is a second home, buy-to-let property, shares, a business or other chargeable assets. It suits individuals, couples, landlords and business owners alike. If you are unsure whether you need to file, we are happy to talk it through with you first.

How does your pricing work?

We work on fixed, transparent packages agreed with you before any work begins, so you know what you are paying upfront. There are no hidden fees and no surprise invoices after your Capital Gains Tax Return has been filed. The exact package depends on the number and type of disposals involved, and we will confirm everything clearly in advance.

Are your accountants qualified and regulated?

Yes, our team is made up of qualified professionals who keep their knowledge current with UK tax legislation and HMRC requirements. We work to professional standards and maintain proper indemnity cover, so your affairs are handled responsibly. That gives you confidence that your Capital Gains Tax Return is prepared by people who know the rules inside out.

How do I get started with my Capital Gains Tax Return?

Simply get in touch with our Peterborough team and tell us a little about what you have sold and when. We will explain what information we need, confirm your fixed fee and set out a clear timeline. From there, we handle the heavy lifting and keep you updated until your return has been filed.

What information will you need from me?

We will typically ask for details of the sale, such as completion statements and contracts, along with records of the original purchase price and any costs you incurred, including improvements, legal fees and stamp duty. Anything you have relating to ownership periods or previous claims is also helpful. If you are missing documents, we can often help you work out what to do next.

How quickly can you prepare and file my return?

Turnaround depends on how complex your disposal is and how quickly we receive your records, but straightforward cases can often be turned around promptly. We always aim to file well within the relevant HMRC deadline to avoid any risk of penalties. When we agree your fixed fee, we will also give you a realistic timeline for completion.

Do I still need to report if I made a loss?

You may still need to report a loss, particularly if you want to claim it against other gains or carry it forward to future years. The rules are not always obvious, and failing to report in time can limit your options. Our Peterborough accountants will confirm whether a Capital Gains Tax Return is needed and make sure any loss is recorded correctly.
