Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on Property Sales

Selling a property that’s not your main home can trigger Capital Gains Tax (CGT). Our expert accountants will:

• Calculate your capital gain accurately

• Apply all available reliefs and exemptions (such as Private Residence Relief or Letting Relief)

• Ensure you meet the 60-day CGT reporting deadline to HMRC for UK residential property sales

• Advise on timing strategies and record-keeping to minimise your future liabilities

 

Whether you’re selling a rental property, second home, or investment flat, Short and Sons Accountants in Staines will make sure your Capital Gains Tax return is submitted correctly and on time.

​

Let Property Campaign – HMRC Disclosure

HMRC is actively contacting landlords who may have undeclared rental income through the Let Property Campaign. These letters are matched using data from the Tenancy Deposit Scheme and letting agents.

​

If you receive one, don’t ignore it — it’s crucial to make a voluntary disclosure to avoid larger penalties. Our experienced tax team can help you:

• Review your position and prepare your disclosure

• Calculate unpaid tax and interest accurately

• Deal directly with HMRC on your behalf

• ​

If you’ve received a Let Property Campaign letter, call us immediately for confidential advice.
