Capital Gains Tax Planning Services

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) can significantly reduce the value of your sale proceeds if not managed properly. Whether you’re selling an investment property, shares, or your business, we help you plan the timing, structure and reliefs to reduce your tax bill legally and efficiently.

Why Capital Gains Tax Planning matters

CGT is triggered when you sell or gift certain assets at a profit. But the amount you pay can vary dramatically depending on how the deal is structured, when it’s done, and whether you qualify for reliefs such as Business Asset Disposal Relief or Private Residence Relief.

We help business owners, landlords and investors reduce their CGT exposure by:

Identifying available reliefs and exemptions
Structuring sales to reduce taxable gains
Transferring assets between spouses or family members where beneficial
Timing disposals to maximise use of allowances
Advising on reinvestment options such as EIS and SEIS

Common Capital Gains Tax Planning Questions

How much CGT will I pay on selling my business?

You may qualify for Business Asset Disposal Relief, which reduces the CGT rate to 10% on qualifying gains. We can assess eligibility and help structure the sale.

Can I reduce CGT on a rental property?

You might benefit from Private Residence Relief, lettings relief or planning the disposal across tax years.

When should I start CGT planning?

Before you accept an offer. Early advice gives you more control over timing, structure and reliefs.
