See how a gain becomes a tax bill
Legitimate ways to reduce your bill
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.

What catches people out most often
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.
Capital Gains Tax Return FAQs
Answers to the questions people ask us most about Capital Gains Tax and reporting disposals to HMRC.
Our service covers reviewing your sale and purchase documents, calculating your gain or loss, identifying the reliefs and allowances that apply, and preparing and submitting your Capital Gains Tax Return. We also provide a clear summary of how your liability was worked out and keep a record of the supporting evidence. If anything looks incomplete, we'll tell you what's needed before filing.
It's for anyone in and around Baldock who has disposed of an asset and needs to report it, whether that's a second home, shares, a business, a buy-to-let property or a valuable personal possession. It suits individuals, couples and landlords who want the calculation checked and the filing handled properly. If you're unsure whether your disposal needs reporting, we're happy to look at it.
We work on fixed, transparent packages agreed with you before any work begins, so you know the scope and the cost up front. The quote reflects the complexity of your disposal rather than an hourly rate that keeps ticking. There are no hidden fees, and if your circumstances change we'll discuss any adjustment with you before proceeding.
Yes. Our team works to professional standards and keeps up to date with HMRC guidance on capital gains and reporting requirements. We handle your information securely and act within the relevant regulatory and anti-money laundering obligations. You can ask us about our qualifications and professional memberships at any point.
In some cases, yes. Certain disposals must be reported to HMRC even where the gain falls within your allowances, and UK residential property disposals have their own reporting deadline. Our Baldock accountants will confirm whether a Capital Gains Tax Return is required in your situation so you don't miss an obligation. Getting this checked early avoids unnecessary penalties.
It helps to have your sale contract or completion statement, the original purchase documents, and evidence of costs such as improvements, legal fees and stamp duty land tax. For shares, you'll need contract notes and any records of rights issues or reorganisations. If some paperwork is missing, tell us early and we'll help you work out what can be reconstructed.
Get in touch with our Baldock team and tell us briefly what you've sold, when it completed and any figures you already have. We'll confirm what's involved, agree a fixed fee and let you know exactly what we need from you. From there, we handle the calculation and filing and keep you informed until your Capital Gains Tax Return is submitted.
