CGT Planning

Did you know that if you choose to sell capital assets, you could be liable to pay Capital Gains Tax (CGT)?

Whether sold or gifted, liquidising capital assets that have increased in value is risky business. To minimise the liability, our expert team will analyse your assets and investments to help you plan effectively. We’ll guide you in how to report and pay any CGT liabilities and can even help reduce or postpone the payments.

We can also…

  • Calculate any potential Capital Gains Tax when you sell an asset
  • Recommend any reliefs available when selling your assets including Entrepreneurs’ Relief.
  • Advise on the timing of disposal of the asset
  • Advise on the sale of shares

If you have disposed of an asset or plan to and would like advice on how to reduce your CGT liability, please get in touch.
