What did you sell?

Pick your asset and see what applies.

Whether you have sold a second home, shares, a business or a buy-to-let property, the rules for a Capital Gains Tax Return in Sandy differ by asset type. Select the asset that fits your situation and we will explain the reporting requirements, deadlines and reliefs that are likely to apply. It is a simple way to understand your position before you speak to us.

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 and guide you through every stage, from gathering completion statements to submitting your Capital Gains Tax Return to HMRC. Our Sandy accountants check the figures, apply the right reliefs and keep you informed so there are no last-minute surprises. You get a clear, compliant filing without the usual admin headache.

Worked example

We break down the calculation step by step, showing how sale proceeds, allowable costs and reliefs combine to produce your taxable gain. Our Sandy team then applies the correct rates and allowances so you can see exactly how your Capital Gains Tax Return figure is reached. No jargon, no guesswork — just a clear explanation you can follow.

Reliefs & allowances

Legitimate ways to reduce your bill.

There are plenty of lawful reliefs and allowances that can bring down your Capital Gains Tax Return liability, from private residence relief to business asset disposal relief and annual exemptions. Our Sandy accountants review your circumstances carefully and claim everything you are entitled to. We never cut corners, but we do make sure you are not paying more than you need to.
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.

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.

I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. 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. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

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 rules are detailed and mistakes can be costly, especially with property deadlines and relief claims. Handing it to our Sandy accountants means your return is prepared accurately, submitted on time and supported by someone who deals with HMRC regularly. It is the difference between hoping it is right and knowing it is.

On your own

With Cheap Tax Returns

Common mistakes

What catches people out.

Common pitfalls include missing the 60-day reporting deadline for residential property, overlooking allowable costs and misunderstanding which reliefs apply. Our Sandy team sees these issues regularly and checks your Capital Gains Tax Return for the details that are easy to miss. A short conversation now can save you interest, penalties and a lot of worry later.

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.
