If you’re selling a UK residential property, it’s important to understand whether Capital Gains Tax (CGT) may be due and what reporting requirements apply.

If you make a taxable gain on a property that isn’t fully covered by Private Residence Relief, you will usually need to report the sale to HMRC and pay any CGT owed within 60 days of completion.

This deadline can apply even if you don’t normally need to complete a Self Assessment tax return.

📌 What should you consider?

* Whether you’ve made a taxable gain on the sale.
* Whether any reliefs or allowances may be available.
* Whether you need to report the disposal to HMRC within 60 days.
* How much tax may be payable and when it needs to be paid.

Leaving things until after completion could mean missing an important deadline, so it’s worth seeking advice early in the process.

If you’re planning to sell a property and would like advice on the potential tax implications, the team at Ashdown Hurrey would be happy to help.

Did you know you may be able to make voluntary National Insurance contributions to fill gaps in your National Insurance record?

This could help you build your entitlement to the State Pension and, depending on the type of contribution, certain contributory benefits.

The government is currently considering whether changes are needed to the voluntary NICs system, including eligibility, pricing and contributions for periods spent abroad.

If you’re unsure whether paying voluntary NICs could benefit you, the team at Ashdown Hurrey would be happy to help 😊

HMRC has updated its guidance on how individuals and organisations can apply for a Certificate of Residence (CoR) or a letter of confirmation to prove their UK tax residence.

A Certificate of Residence can be important when dealing with overseas income or transactions, particularly where a Double Taxation Agreement applies and you need to demonstrate that you are UK tax resident.

The updated guidance explains how to apply and what information may be required.

If you have overseas income or business interests and are unsure whether you need a Certificate of Residence, the team at Ashdown Hurrey would be happy to help 😊
