Capital Gains Tax on UK Property – 60-Day Reporting Checklist and Gain Calculation

About this document

What it’s for

If you sell UK residential property and Capital Gains Tax is due – for example a buy-to-let, second home or inherited property – you must report the sale and pay the estimated tax within 60 days of completion using HMRC’s online UK property reporting service. Non-UK residents must report all disposals of UK land and property, even if no tax is due.

When to use it

  • Before exchanging contracts, to estimate the tax
  • Within 60 days of completion, to report and pay
  • When completing your Self Assessment return for the year

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.

How to complete it

  • Gather purchase and sale documents and records of improvement costs
  • Calculate the gain and any reliefs
  • Create a Capital Gains Tax on UK property account and submit the return

Key points to check

  • Private Residence Relief usually covers your main home for the periods you lived there, plus the final nine months
  • Late reporting and late payment lead to penalties and interest

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
