Capital Gains Tax
CGT, calculated properly.
Whether you are selling a buy-to-let, exiting a business, disposing of crypto, or just trying to work out the base cost of shares your dad left you in 1987, we compute, file and plan around capital gains tax with the precision the calculation needs.
A tax with a hundred edge cases – and we have seen most of them
Capital gains tax sounds simple – sale price minus base cost minus allowable costs, times the rate – until you actually do one. Was the property your main residence at any point? When did the shares vest? Were they part of an EMI scheme? Did you reinvest into EIS? Has there been a takeover, a demerger, or a return of capital since you bought them? Is this a transfer between spouses, or a gift hold-over? And what about the 60-day reporting deadline on UK residential property?
We handle the lot. We track down historic base costs, apply the right reliefs (principal residence relief, lettings relief, BADR, investors\u2019 relief, gift hold-over, rollover, EIS deferral), file the 60-day return on time, and keep you on the right side of HMRC. Where there is a planning angle – timing, spouse transfers, multiple-completion structures – we flag it before you sign.
