What CGT advice actually is.

CGT is the tax on profit when you dispose of an asset that grew. The expensive mistakes happen before completion: wrong ownership, missed Business Asset Disposal Relief, a 60-day property report that nobody diaryed. We plan the disposal with landlords, shareholders and owner-managers across Lancashire and Cheshire.

In plain English

Capital Gains Tax, written properly

The expensive mistakes happen before completion

Capital Gains Tax is the tax on profit when an asset grows and you dispose of it. Wrong ownership, a missed relief, a 60-day property report that nobody diaryed. Those are decided in the weeks before exchange, not in the following January. We model the disposal for landlords, shareholders and owner-managers across Lancashire and Cheshire before the solicitor’s email.

Reliefs are facts, not folklore

Business Asset Disposal Relief, spouse transfers, incorporation relief, principal private residence. Each has conditions and each has been changing. We apply the current rules to your facts. If you already sold, planning is harder and reporting is not. Get the gain computed and the deadline met.
