There are a number of taxes that UK property owners are subject to, one of which is Capital Gains Tax (CGT). CGT is a tax applied to profits from the sale of assets, typically including second homes, buy-to-let properties, business premises, and inherited properties, although it is the gain you make that is taxed, not the total amount of money you receive for the asset. Thankfully, you usually don't have to pay CGT on your home if it has been your only or main residence. However, there are circumstances where you might have to pay if you've used part of the property for business, let it out, or if the total area is over 5,000 square meters.The CGT rates for residential properties exceed those for other types of assets, although everyone has a CGT allowance, meaning gains below a certain... 04/23/2024
