What did you sell?

Pick Your Asset to See What Applies

Whether you have sold a second home, shares, a buy-to-let property or a business asset, the rules differ and so do the reliefs available. Select the asset you have disposed of and we will show you what a Capital Gains Tax Return involves for your situation. Our Waterlooville accountants make the process simple, so you know exactly where you stand.

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

Every step is explained in plain English, so the final figure never feels like a mystery. Our Waterlooville accountants make sure you understand precisely how your Capital Gains Tax Return has been worked out.

Reliefs & allowances

Legitimate Ways to Reduce Your Bill

From using your annual exempt amount and allowable costs properly to claiming reliefs such as private residence relief or business asset disposal relief where they apply, there are often sensible ways to keep your bill down. We review your circumstances carefully and only ever use reliefs you are genuinely entitled to. Our Waterlooville accountants will flag every legitimate opportunity within your Capital Gains Tax Return.

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 around part disposals, valuations and reliefs can quickly become complicated, and mistakes can be costly. Handing it to our Waterlooville accountants means your figures are checked, your deadlines are met and your return is submitted correctly first time. 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

Missed reporting deadlines, incorrect base costs, forgotten improvements and reliefs claimed without the right evidence are among the most common pitfalls we see. Many people also do not realise that some disposals must be reported and paid within a short window, well before the self assessment deadline. Our Waterlooville accountants spot these issues early so your Capital Gains Tax Return stays accurate and penalty-free.

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.
