Important Capital Gains Tax Deadlines
HMRC reporting deadlines for Capital Gains Tax are strict, especially for residential property disposals.
- 60-Day Property Reporting Rule If you sell a residential property that is not your main home, the gain usually needs to be reported to HMRC within 60 days of completion.
- Annual Self Assessment Reporting Other disposals, including shares, business assets, and cryptocurrency, are generally reported through your annual Self Assessment tax return.
Missing deadlines can lead to penalties and interest charges, which is why early advice can make a significant difference.
