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 that apply to your Capital Gains Tax Return can differ considerably. Choose the asset you have disposed of and our Stoke On Trent accountants will walk you through the reliefs, deadlines and reporting requirements that matter to you. It is a simple way to see exactly where you stand before you speak to anyone.

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 the figures on your disposal through to submitting your Capital Gains Tax Return accurately and on time. Our Stoke On Trent team keeps you updated at each stage, so you always know what is happening and what comes next. You get a clean, compliant filing without the usual last-minute panic.

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

A capital gain is not the same as the tax you owe, and understanding the difference helps you plan with confidence. We explain how your proceeds, allowable costs, reliefs and annual allowance interact, then show you the resulting liability in plain English. Our Stoke On Trent accountants make the calculation transparent so there are no surprises when your bill arrives.

Reliefs & allowances

Legitimate ways to reduce your bill

There are many lawful reliefs and allowances that can bring your Capital Gains Tax Return liability down, but they are easy to overlook without professional guidance. We review your circumstances carefully and apply every relief you are entitled to, from private residence relief to business asset disposal relief where relevant. Our Stoke On Trent accountants focus on keeping your bill fair and correct, never on cutting corners.

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.

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.

 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 calculations can quickly become confusing, especially where property or shares are involved. Handing it to our Stoke On Trent accountants means fewer errors, less time spent on admin and a clear record of how your figures were reached. You stay in control while we deal with the technical detail.

On your own

With Cheap Tax Returns

Common mistakes

What catches people out

Late reporting on residential property disposals, missed allowable costs and confusion over the annual allowance are among the most common pitfalls we see. Many people also assume no tax is due simply because a sale made little profit, only to find a return was still required. Our Stoke On Trent accountants spot these issues early so your Capital Gains Tax Return is correct and filed on time.

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 reviewing your disposal details, calculating the gain, identifying every relief and allowance you can claim, and preparing and submitting your Capital Gains Tax Return. We also explain the figures in plain English and keep a clear record of how your liability was worked out. You get the full picture, not just a filed form.

Who is this Capital Gains Tax Return service for?

It suits anyone in Stoke On Trent and the surrounding area 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 personal possessions. Landlords, investors, business owners and individuals handling a one-off sale are all welcome. If you are unsure whether you need to file, we can help you work that out.

How does your pricing work?

We use fixed, transparent packages so you know what you are paying before any work begins, with no hidden fees or surprise charges added later. The fee depends on the complexity of your disposal and the number of assets involved, and we confirm it clearly upfront. If your circumstances change, we discuss any adjustment with you first rather than simply adding costs.

Are your accountants qualified and compliant?

Yes, our Stoke On Trent accountants work to professional standards and stay current with HMRC rules and reporting requirements. We handle your Capital Gains Tax Return with proper care, keep accurate records and maintain the confidentiality you would expect. You can rely on us to file correctly and to explain the basis of every figure we use.

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

Getting started is simple: get in touch with our Stoke On Trent team and tell us briefly what you have sold and when. We will explain what information we need, confirm your fixed fee and outline the timescales involved. From there, we handle the calculation and filing while keeping you informed throughout.

Can you help if I have already missed a reporting deadline?

Yes, we regularly help clients who are unsure about deadlines or who have realised a return is overdue. We assess your position, work out what needs to be filed and deal with HMRC on your behalf where appropriate. Acting promptly usually keeps matters simpler, so it is worth speaking to us as soon as you can.

Do I still need to file if I made only a small gain?

It depends on your circumstances, as reporting obligations can apply even where the gain is modest or no tax ends up being due. The rules differ between asset types, and residential property disposals in particular have their own reporting requirements. Our Stoke On Trent accountants will confirm whether a Capital Gains Tax Return is needed and handle it if so.
