Capital Gains Tax

Individuals are charged Capital Gains Tax (CGT) in respect of gains made from selling, or otherwise disposing of assets. Many common assets that can be subjected to CGT are stocks, bonds, precious metals and property.

You may also be liable for paying capital gains tax if you are selling or transferring a business.  Business assets that may be subjected to capital gains tax are:

  • Shareholdings in privately owned trading companies
  • Goodwill associated with a business that is run by a sole trader or partnership.
  • Residential property other than your main residence.
  • Commercial property let to, or otherwise used by, privately owned trading organisations, including your own business.

For a basic concept, capital gains tax can be very complex.  There are many exceptions and adjustments that can be benefited from, which may lead to a significant change to your taxes.  It is recommended that you seek the advice of a professional accountant to best assist you in figuring out your capital gains tax.

If you are a small business owner or individual considering selling an asset or business, we can advise on any relief that may be available and of the possible capital gains tax charges that may arise.

In addition to any current charges, TaxAssist Accountants will be able to recommend more beneficial ways of planning your affairs to reduce any potential future tax liabilities.

Let TaxAssist Accountants take away this hassle which causes many businesses concern and stress each year. We offer competitive pricing and are very flexible.

Over the past 10 years we believed that if we wanted outstanding service we should use traditional large accountancy firms. Oh how wrong we have been! We've been charged high fees without any real value being added to the business.
