Capital Gains Tax Services

There are many common assets that can be subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) when they are disposed of, such as stocks, bonds, precious metals. The legislation for CGT is a very complex area. There are many reliefs and exemptions which may lead to significant tax savings. It is therefore recommended that you seek the advice of your local HCA Accountant who will be able to prepare your CGT computations, claim any reliefs that you may be entitled to and calculate any liability that may be due. If you are considering selling a personal asset or all or part of your business, we can advise you of the tax planning opportunities available to you before you make your disposal, in order to mitigate or reduce potential tax liabilities.

Disposing of your assets tax effectively

From selling your property portfolio to disposing of your shares in the family business, we can advise you of the most tax-efficient approaches. For example, as an entrepreneur, you may want to realise the value of your business. We can work with you to establish whether you qualify for entrepreneurs' relief and you are able to benefit from the 10% rate. To ensure you maximise tax relief, it's essential to plan ahead. We can also consider the impact of other taxes, such as inheritance tax and wealth protection, on your finances. There's more to our CGT advice than its impact on your business investments. You can benefit from our advice on rewarding you and your people tax-efficiently; minimising tax on acquisitions and disposals; and maximising available tax reliefs. We can also advise you on managing your personal tax burden and that of your family. Additionally, there are specific CGT rules for non-UK domiciled individuals. We can advise on how they might affect you.
