Capital Gains Tax – Sale of residential property
The Sales of certain residential property (not your main residence), may incur a Capital Gains Tax liability. Any Capital Gains Tax due on residential property must be reported and paid to HMRC within 60 days of the completion of the sale.
We can provide tax planning and advice as well as reporting the Capital Gains Tax to HMRC. If you require our assistance, please contact us.
Making Tax Digital
Although Making Tax Digital reforms have been postponed several times, they are coming.
The proposed changes are currently set to begin in 2026 for the first intake. Consequently, you may well have to keep digital records and submit updates of those records, at least every quarter, via software, compatible with HMRC.
Although this may seem a long way off it’s a good idea to keep an eye on Making Tax Digital announcements in case there are any updates and prepare accordingly. If you have any questions regarding these changes, please get in touch.
