Find the Best Capital Gains Tax Accountants in the UK
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) applies when you dispose of an asset that has increased in value. The rules vary significantly depending on the asset type — residential property, business assets, shares, and cryptocurrency all have different rates, reliefs, and reporting deadlines. A CGT specialist helps you calculate gains accurately, identify all available reliefs (Business Asset Disposal Relief, Investors' Relief, Rollover Relief, Hold-Over Relief, PRR), time disposals to use annual exempt amounts, and report within the required deadlines.
