Capital Gains Tax Explained

Capital gains tax pertains to the levy imposed on the earnings accrued from the sale of taxable assets, such as real estate or land.

This tax is applicable to the gains upon selling a property that isn't your primary dwelling. The payable CGT amount hinges on various factors, including the duration of property ownership, your income tax bracket, and any applicable reliefs or allowances.

How CGT Tax Calculations are calculated

Calculate the gain:

You need to calculate the gain you made on the disposal of the property. Disposing an asset can mean a sale, transfer, gift or gain in compensation.

Deduct any allowable expenses:

You can deduct certain expenses, such as the cost of renovations, from the gain to arrive at the taxable gain.

Apply any reliefs or allowances:

You may be eligible for certain reliefs or allowances that can reduce the taxable gain, such as letting relief or the annual exempt amount.

Calculate the tax:

Once you have arrived at the taxable gain, you will need to calculate the amount of CGT you owe. The current CGT rates in the UK are 18% for basic rate taxpayers and 28% for higher and additional rate taxpayers.

Report and pay the tax:

You will need to report the sale of the property and pay any CGT owed to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) within 30 days of the completion date.

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

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.

Harriet Worsley

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

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.
