What is Capital Gains Tax?

Capital gains tax is the taxation of profits derived from the sale of chargeable assets, including property or land.

This tax is applicable to the profit gained from selling a property that is not your primary residence. The specific amount of capital gains tax (CGT) owed on the property sale is influenced by various factors, such as the duration of property ownership, your income tax bracket, and any eligible reliefs or allowances.

When do I need a Capital Gains Tax Valuation?

Valuations for capital gains tax are frequently needed for historical dates, a service our team adeptly provides for various residential and commercial properties.

We offer historical market valuations in the following property-related scenarios:

How CGT Tax Calculations Work

Calculate the gain:

It's necessary to compute the profit accrued from the disposal of the property. Disposing of an asset encompasses actions such as selling, transferring, gifting, or receiving compensation.

Deduct any allowable expenses:

You have the option to subtract specific expenses, like renovation costs, from the profit to determine the taxable gain.

Apply any reliefs or allowances:

You might qualify for particular reliefs or allowances that can lessen the taxable gain, including letting relief or the annual exempt amount.

Calculate the tax:

After determining the taxable gain, the next step is to compute the amount of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) owed. The existing CGT rates in the UK are 18% for basic rate taxpayers and 28% for higher and additional rate taxpayers.

Report and pay the tax:

Reporting the sale of the property and settling any Capital Gains Tax (CGT) owed to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) must be done within 30 days of the completion date.

Why choose Mylako for your Capital Gains Tax Valuation?

HMRC retains the authority to dispute your valuation if they suspect inaccuracies or if it fails to reflect the true market value of the property at the reported date. They can investigate and challenge any tax return or valuation that they believe contains errors, potentially leading to additional tax liabilities, interest, and fines.

Engaging Mylako Chartered Surveyors for a valuation can mitigate the risk of a challenge and prevent overpayment of taxes. Our Chartered Surveyors specialize in providing precise and compliant valuations that meet HMRC's requirements.

Furthermore, in case the District Valuer Service (DVS) raises queries about the valuation, we can negotiate with HMRC on your behalf. Please note that possible additional fees may apply depending on the specific case and work involved, and this will be confirmed before any costs are incurred.

What our customers say about us

Amazing service! Renting in London can be tricky but in our case, we had Marcela from Mylako who was always available to help. They truly want the tenants to have a great stay which is rare and much appreciated!

Nienke Gras

We were tenants in a Mylako property for three and half years. By far the best management company either of us has rented from. They're so responsive, act on things quickly and fantastic communicators. We mostly liaised with Marcela who was an absolute pleasure to do deal with throughout our tenancy; she was so helpful, professional and thorough. But all the team are fab, can't recommend them enough.

Clare

Mylako have dealt with my concerns and challenges to do with the management of my flat and the building in a professional, courteous and timely manner. Businesses are made up of people and Mylako has some great professionals working there who take the needs and situations of their customers very seriously and it shows with the correction of issues relating to works needing to be done, accounts to be paid and a myriad of other things for which a capable and willing managing agent is essential

Alex Tanner

I was a tenant in a Mylako-managed flat for three years and had a very positive experience. There were clear channels for communication, and the team was very responsive and went over and above to ensure I was comfortable and safe in the flat and had all the information I needed. Marcela was particularly friendly and helpful. I would have stayed even longer if I wasn't looking for a bigger flat with my boyfriend. Even then, I first asked Mylako if they had alternatives I could look at!

Lisa Cousins

Eli and the team at Mylako have been kind, professional and responded quickly to any problems we had with our small rented flat. I would recommend them to others, and feel very lucky to have had their help and support behind the scenes for our seven year tenancy in Battersea.
