As you’re probably aware, the rules affecting Capital Gains Tax on uk property returns changed back in April 2021. Before then, you had up to 22 months from the date of sale to calculate, report and pay CGT to the taxman.

The new system is much less relaxed. Now, when you sell a property that’s not your main home, you have to calculate CGT, submit a return and pay the tax within 60 days. If you don’t, you could face both a penalty and interest on the outstanding sum.

Given how quickly HMRC wants you to submit CGT on uk property returns, you’d think the taxman would make it super easy to report and pay.

On the surface, it hasn’t been difficult to report and pay CGT. In theory, all you’ve had to do is log in to the ‘real time’ Capital Gains Tax service and submit your return.

Initially you could only use this service to report one property disposal per year. At a time when many buy-to-let landlords have been disposing of residential property, this meant a major hassle for some. The only way you could handle CGT returns on subsequent properties was to brave HMRC’s phone system on 0300 200 3300. If you were lucky, the ‘call waiting’ queue wouldn’t be too long.

Luckily, you can now use the online portal to submit multiple Capital Gains Tax uk property returns in any one year.
