What did you sell?

Pick your asset and see what applies

Whether you’ve sold a second home, shares, a buy-to-let property or a business asset, the Capital Gains Tax Return rules differ depending on what you’ve disposed of. Select your asset type and our Tunbridge Wells accountants will explain exactly what applies to your situation, which reliefs may be available, and what you need to report.

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 completion statement and original purchase costs through to calculating your gain and submitting your Capital Gains Tax Return on time. Our Tunbridge Wells team keeps you updated at each stage so you always know where things stand and what happens next.

Tell us what you sold

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

Your taxable gain isn’t simply the sale price minus what you paid — allowable costs, improvements and reliefs all shape the final figure. We’ll walk you through the calculation in plain English, showing how each element feeds into your Capital Gains Tax Return so the number on your bill makes sense.

Sale price

£320,000

Purchase price and allowable costs

− £240,000

Chargeable gain

£80,000

Annual exempt amount

− £3,000

Taxable gain at 24%

£77,000

Capital Gains Tax due

Reliefs & allowances

Legitimate ways to reduce your bill

There are plenty of legitimate reliefs and allowances that can reduce what you owe, from private residence relief to business asset disposal relief and the annual exempt amount. Our Tunbridge Wells accountants review your circumstances carefully and apply everything you’re entitled to claim on your Capital Gains Tax Return — no guesswork, no shortcuts.

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 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 deadlines are tight and mistakes can be costly, particularly with 60-day property reporting. Handing it to our Tunbridge Wells accountants means your figures are checked, your reliefs are claimed correctly, and your return is filed with confidence rather than crossed fingers.

On your own

With Cheap Tax Returns

Common mistakes

What catches people out most often

Missed 60-day reporting deadlines, forgotten allowable costs, and incorrectly claimed reliefs are among the most common issues we see with Capital Gains Tax Return filings. Our Tunbridge Wells team spots these pitfalls early, corrects anything that’s gone astray, and helps you avoid penalties that are far easier to prevent than to appeal.

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?

We review your sale documentation, calculate your gain or loss, identify every relief and allowance you qualify for, and prepare and submit your Capital Gains Tax Return. You'll also receive a clear summary of the figures and confirmation once everything has been filed with HMRC.

Who is this Capital Gains Tax Return service for in Tunbridge Wells?

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

We work on fixed, transparent packages agreed with you before any work begins, so there are no hidden fees or surprise invoices. The fee reflects the complexity of your disposal and the number of assets involved, and we'll always confirm the cost upfront.
