The job that costs you when it slips

Capital Gains Tax is full of traps. The rules on what counts as a disposal, which reliefs apply and how to work out the gain are genuinely complex — and since UK residential property must be reported and paid within 60 days of completion, the clock is often already running.

Get it wrong and you either overpay — by missing reliefs you were entitled to — or underpay and face penalties. Either way, the cost of guessing is high.

  • A 60-day deadline on UK residential property sales
  • Not knowing which reliefs you can claim
  • Working out the gain across costs and improvements
  • Multiple disposals — property, shares and funds
  • Overpaying simply because no one optimised it
  • Penalties for late reporting or errors
What we do

Hand it over, and consider it handled

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is due when you sell or dispose of an asset that has gone up in value — a second property, shares, or a business. The rules, rates and reliefs are easy to get wrong, and UK residential property now has a strict 60-day reporting window.

We work out your gain accurately, apply every allowance and relief available (such as Private Residence Relief or Business Asset Disposal Relief), and report it to HMRC correctly and on time.

Still deciding?

The honest answers to what you’re thinking

How much do accountants charge for Capital Gains Tax?

We quote a fixed fee for your CGT calculation and reporting up front, based on the disposal. Because the reliefs we claim usually outweigh the fee, it typically saves you money rather than costing it.

Should I use an accountant for CGT?

For anything beyond the simplest sale, yes. The reliefs are valuable but easy to miss, the 60-day property deadline is strict, and mistakes are costly. An accountant usually saves more than the fee.

I’ve already sold — is it too late?

Not necessarily, but timing matters — especially for property, where the 60-day clock starts at completion. Contact us as soon as a sale is agreed, or straight away if it’s already done.

Do I pay CGT on shares too?

Potentially, if your gains exceed the annual exempt amount. We work out your position across all disposals and report it correctly.
