What is Capital Gains Tax
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) in the UK is a levy on the profit you make when you sell or 'dispose' of an asset that has appreciated in value during your ownership period. This could be a second home, shares, or even a piece of artwork. The amount you're taxed depends on the nature of the asset you're selling and your income tax bracket when the profit is added to your taxable income.
The government has set a threshold for capital gains, which was reduced from £12,300 to £6,000 on 6 April 2023, and is set to be cut again to £3,000 in April 2024. Profits exceeding this threshold will be taxed. Not all assets incur capital gains tax. For instance, gifts to your spouse, civil partner, or charity, and your main home are usually exempt. However, you might need to pay capital gains tax when selling a buy-to-let flat, shares not held in an ISA or pension, valuable antiques, art, jewellery, and business assets.
The rates of capital gains tax vary depending on your income tax band and the type of asset. For basic-rate taxpayers, the rate is 10% (or 18% if the asset disposed of is a residential property), while for higher (40%) or additional rate taxpayers (45%), the rate is 20% (or 28% if the asset disposed of is a residential property).

What is a Capital Gains Tax Accountant
A Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Accountant is a financial professional who specialises in managing and optimising the tax implications of selling or 'disposing' of assets that have appreciated in value. These assets could range from property and shares to personal items like artwork or antiques.
The role of a CGT Accountant is to help individuals and businesses understand their tax obligations, plan for potential tax liabilities, and take advantage of any available tax reliefs or exemptions. They can provide advice on how to minimise CGT, for instance, by spreading the disposal of assets across different tax years or transferring assets between spouses.
Moreover, a CGT Accountant can assist with the complex process of calculating the taxable gain, which involves deducting the original cost of the asset, along with any associated expenses, from the selling price. They also ensure accurate and timely reporting to HMRC, helping clients avoid penalties for non-compliance. Their expertise is invaluable in navigating the intricacies of capital gains tax.
