What is Capital Gains Tax?

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a tax on the profit you make when you sell or dispose of an asset that has increased in value. It’s crucial to understand that this tax is only charged on the gain—the difference between what you paid for the asset and what you sold it for—rather than the total amount of money received.

Key Areas Where Capital Gains Tax Applies

If you’re a UK resident, you may be liable for Capital Gains Tax when you sell or dispose of certain assets. This includes:

  1. Property: When selling a second home, buy-to-let property, or land that isn’t your primary residence.

  2. Investments: Disposing of shares, bonds, or other financial instruments.

  3. Business Assets: Selling part or all of your business or business assets.

  4. Personal Possessions: Selling valuable items worth over £6,000, such as artwork, antiques, or jewellery.

How is Capital Gains Tax Calculated?

When selling assets, it's essential to understand that this transaction can trigger Capital Gains Tax obligations. To calculate CGT, follow these steps:

  1. Determine the gain: Subtract the original purchase price (including any associated costs) from the selling price (minus selling expenses).

  2. Apply any reliefs or exemptions: Several allowances and reliefs are available, such as the Annual Exempt Amount (£6,000 for individuals in 2023/24) and Private Residence Relief for your main home.

  3. Apply the tax rate: The CGT rate depends on your income tax band—18% or 28% for residential property and 10% or 20% for other assets.

Common FAQs About Capital Gains Tax

1. Who needs to pay Capital Gains Tax?

If you're a UK resident and you sell or dispose of certain assets, you may be liable for CGT. Non-residents may also need to pay CGT on UK property sales.

2. What assets are exempt from CGT?

Assets such as your primary residence, personal cars, and ISAs (Individual Savings Accounts) are typically exempt from CGT.

3. When do I need to report and pay Capital Gains Tax?

You must report CGT in your Self-assessment tax return. For UK property sales, CGT must be reported and paid within 60 days of the sale.

4. Can I reduce my Capital Gains Tax bill?

Yes, through careful planning and by utilising available reliefs such as Entrepreneurs' Relief, Gift Hold-Over Relief, and Private Residence Relief.
