In short
What is Capital Gains Tax?
Capital Gains Tax is tax on the profit, or gain, when you sell or give away something that has increased in value, such as property that isn't your main home, shares, crypto or business assets. The first £3,000 of gains each tax year is tax-free. Above that, the rate is 18% or 24% depending on your income. Gains on UK residential property must be reported and paid within 60 days of completion.

Who needs to report Capital Gains Tax?

- Shares or funds not held in an ISA or pension
- Crypto assets, including swaps between coins
- Business assets or shares in your company
- Land or a property while living abroad
- Personal possessions worth £6,000 or more
You must also report if your total sale proceeds were over £50,000, even if your gains are within the £3,000 allowance. Your main home is usually exempt through Private Residence Relief.

When do I have to report Capital Gains Tax on property?
For UK residential property, you must report and pay within 60 days of completion. Non-residents must report every UK property or land sale within 60 days, even if there's no tax to pay.

You must report if your total proceeds from sales were over £50,000 in the tax year, even if the gains were within the allowance.
Can I reduce Capital Gains Tax by transferring to my spouse?
Transfers between spouses and civil partners are usually tax-free, so you can make use of both annual exempt amounts and lower rates. We check whether it helps before you sell.
