Capital Gains Tax planning

If you are considering selling or giving away an asset that has increased in value, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) may apply to any profits you make. However, with careful planning and expert guidance, you can benefit from a range of CGT reliefs and allowances.

Our CGT advisers have many years’ experience in assisting clients with their personal tax affairs. We can help you navigate the rules of CGT and minimise the tax burden when you sell or gift any significant assets liable for CGT, including properties, shares, and businesses. By using our CGT planning service, you could make considerable savings in the long run.

Expert Capital Gains Tax advice in Wiltshire

CGT is chargeable on the sum of gains and losses accrued in any tax year. While everyday items generally qualify for a CGT exemption, the allowances and reliefs available to individuals parting with assets liable for CGT have changed over the years, so it is well worth seeking advice before making any decisions.

Timing can be critical when it comes to selling or disposing of an asset. Our expert CGT advice covers many areas, including:

  • Principal Private Residence Relief
  • Roll-over relief
  • Business Asset Disposal Relief (formerly known as Entrepreneurs’ relief)
  • Gift relief
  • Reinvestment relief
