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
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.
