What did you sell?

Pick Your Asset and See What Applies

Capital gains rules differ depending on what you’ve sold, whether that’s a second home, shares, a buy-to-let property or a business asset. As Capital Gains Tax Return accountants in Thornton Heath, we help you identify which rules apply to your situation so you report the right figures from the outset. Choose your asset type and we’ll explain the reliefs and reporting requirements that matter to you.

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

See How a Gain Becomes a Tax Bill

Your taxable gain isn’t simply the sale price minus what you paid — allowable costs, reliefs and your annual exemption all shape the final figure. We walk you through each step in plain English so you can see exactly how your Capital Gains Tax Return liability is built up. No jargon, no guesswork, just a transparent calculation you can follow.

Reliefs & allowances

Legitimate Ways to Reduce Your Bill

There are perfectly legitimate reliefs and allowances that can bring your capital gains bill down, and many people simply don’t claim them. Our Thornton Heath accountants review your circumstances and apply every relief you’re entitled to, from private residence relief to business asset relief where relevant. We keep everything fully compliant with HMRC rules while making sure you don’t pay a penny more than you owe.

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 vs. 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 deadlines and penalties looming. Handing it to our Thornton Heath accountants means your figures are checked, your reliefs are claimed and your submission is made correctly the first time. It’s the difference between hoping it’s right and knowing it is.

Common mistakes

What Catches People Out

Late reporting on residential property, missed reliefs, incorrect base costs and overlooked deadlines are among the most common traps we see. Many people also don’t realise that some property sales must be reported and paid within a tight window, well before the self assessment deadline. Our Capital Gains Tax Return accountants in Thornton Heath spot these issues early so they never become an expensive problem.

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's included when you prepare my Capital Gains Tax Return?

Our service covers reviewing your sale and purchase records, calculating your gain accurately, identifying every relief and allowance you can claim, and preparing and submitting your Capital Gains Tax Return to HMRC. We also explain the figures in plain English and keep you informed throughout the process, so you understand exactly what has been filed on your behalf.

Who is this Capital Gains Tax Return service for in Thornton Heath?

It's for anyone in Thornton Heath and the surrounding area who has sold or disposed of an asset and needs to report a gain, whether that's a second home, buy-to-let property, shares, or a business asset. Landlords, investors, sole traders and individuals dealing with a one-off sale all use our service to get their reporting right.

How does your pricing work for Capital Gains Tax Return work?

We work on fixed, transparent packages agreed with you before any work begins, so you know what you're paying upfront. There are no hidden fees and no surprise invoices, and the quote reflects the complexity of your particular disposal rather than a one-size-fits-all rate. If your circumstances change, we'll always discuss any adjustment with you first.

Are your accountants qualified and compliant with HMRC requirements?

Yes, our team works to professional accounting standards and stays up to date with current HMRC rules and reporting requirements for capital gains. We prepare and submit returns accurately and on time, and we keep clear records of everything we file on your behalf. You can rely on us to handle your Capital Gains Tax Return properly and compliantly.

How do I get started with your Capital Gains Tax Return accountants in Thornton Heath?

Simply get in touch by phone or through our website and tell us a little about what you've sold and when. We'll ask for the relevant documents, such as completion statements and purchase records, then confirm your fixed fee and timescales. From there, we handle the calculation and filing while keeping you updated at every step.

Do I need to report a property sale before the self assessment deadline?

For residential property disposals, there's often a requirement to report the gain and pay any tax due within a much shorter window than the usual self assessment deadline. Missing this can trigger penalties and interest, so it's worth speaking to us as soon as a sale completes. Our Thornton Heath team will confirm your deadline and make sure everything is filed in good time.

Can you help if I've already missed a Capital Gains Tax Return deadline?

Yes, we regularly help clients who have missed a reporting deadline or realise they should have filed a return earlier. We'll review your position, work out what needs to be submitted and liaise with HMRC on your behalf where appropriate. Acting quickly usually keeps any penalties and interest to a minimum, so please get in touch as soon as you can.
