Not entirely sure what your CGT bill will be?
Capital gains tax catches a lot of people off guard — particularly those selling a second property, disposing of a business, or gifting an asset. The rules around reliefs, exemptions and reporting windows are specific enough that getting them wrong costs more than getting proper advice would have. Many people discover the liability only after the disposal, by which point the planning options have narrowed considerably.
- Sold or about to sell a property and unsure what CGT you actually owe
- Not certain which reliefs apply — Private Residence, Business Asset Disposal, or others
- Unclear whether you need to report within 60 days or on a Self Assessment return
What properly advised looks like
With the right guidance in place before you complete a disposal, your liability is calculated accurately, available reliefs are applied, and the reporting obligation is handled on time. No surprises, no missed deadlines.
- Your CGT liability calculated accurately before or immediately after disposal
- Every applicable relief reviewed — you will not overpay through an oversight
- 60-day reporting window or Self Assessment deadline met without last-minute pressure
- Fixed fee agreed upfront — you know the cost before the work begins
What clients say about Daniel’s tax advice
From time-sensitive deadlines to navigating tax law for the first time, clients consistently point to speed, clarity and measurable outcomes.
Daniel was very helpful with my books and tax return. He offered great advise and insight in how to manage my books better and more efficiently. His knowledge in tax law and what can be used for expenses really helped with saving money where I could. As a sole trader it’s really hard to keep on top of things and have now asked Dan to do monthly books for me. His rates are extremely good compared to some other accountants out there and I get more for my money.
I worked with Daniel at DG Accountancy to review and sign off my sole trader accounts for a time-sensitive mortgage application, and the service was excellent. Daniel was extremely responsive, clear, and professional throughout. He understood exactly what the lender required, turned everything around very quickly without cutting corners. Communication was straightforward and reassuring, which made a potentially stressful part of the mortgage process much easier. Fees were transparent, turnaround was fast, and the work was done thoroughly and accurately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daniel to anyone needing reliable accountancy support, particularly where deadlines really matter.
CGT advice that covers the full picture
From calculating the gain to filing the return, each element of the service is handled accurately and explained clearly — so you understand exactly where you stand.
CGT Calculation and Liability Review
Your gain is calculated correctly from the outset, taking into account allowable costs, acquisition costs and any enhancement expenditure. Available exemptions — including the annual exempt amount — are applied before arriving at the taxable figure. You will not pay more than the rules require.
Core serviceReliefs Identified and Applied
Business Asset Disposal Relief, Private Residence Relief, Lettings Relief and Rollover Relief each have specific conditions that need to be met and evidenced correctly. Daniel reviews your situation against the relevant criteria so that nothing available to you is missed. Getting this right at the point of disposal matters — retrospective claims are considerably harder.
Advisory includedHMRC Reporting Filed On Time
Property disposals triggering a CGT liability must generally be reported to HMRC within 60 days of completion — a deadline many people miss. Other disposals are reported through Self Assessment. Whichever applies to your situation, the return is prepared accurately and filed before the deadline, with a full summary of what was submitted and why.
Deadline managedConsistently rated five stars across all services
From sole traders handling their first tax return to businesses with more complex needs, the feedback points to the same things: responsiveness, clarity and work done thoroughly.

What makes this practice worth calling
CGT advice is only useful if it arrives before the decision is made, is explained in language you can act on, and costs a predictable amount from the start.
Advice Before You Complete
The most valuable CGT guidance happens before the disposal is completed, not after. Daniel reviews your situation at the planning stage so that reliefs are structured correctly, timing is considered, and avoidable tax is avoided. Most people arrive too late. You do not have to.
Numbers Explained, Not Just Filed
You will receive a plain-English summary of how the gain was calculated, which reliefs were applied and what the final liability is. No cryptic computations or unexplained figures. Understanding your tax position is part of what you are paying for.
60-Day Deadline Never Missed
The 60-day window for reporting property disposals is a hard deadline that carries automatic penalties if missed. DG Accountancy tracks completion dates and files promptly. You will not be left chasing a return with days to spare.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most clients have their CGT position clarified and their reporting obligation in hand within a matter of days. The process is designed to be easy from your side.
Book a free discovery call
You will talk through the disposal, the asset involved and your current situation. No preparation required — just a straightforward conversation about what has happened or what you are planning. You will leave the call with a clear sense of what needs to be done.
Receive a fixed-fee quote
Once Daniel understands the scope, you will receive a written quote with the cost agreed upfront. No hourly rates, no estimates that expand after the work starts. You decide whether to proceed before anything is charged.
Provide the relevant documents
You will be asked for the information needed — completion statements, purchase records, improvement costs and relevant correspondence. A checklist is provided so nothing is missed. Documents are shared securely online.
Returns filed, liability understood
Your CGT is calculated accurately, the return is filed on time, and you receive a clear summary of the position. The liability is no longer a guess — it is a known figure, handled and filed. Considerably less to think about.
“Absolutely recommend Daniel for all and any accounts related matter. Would use his expertise again. He is the most amazing person, very professional, explaining every detail meticulously in order to finalise our accounts. A huge thank you Daniel.”
Things people usually ask about CGT
Do you handle CGT on property sales, business disposals and share sales — or just one type?
All three. The rules differ meaningfully across asset classes — residential property carries a 60-day reporting obligation, business assets may qualify for Business Asset Disposal Relief, and share disposals run through Self Assessment. Daniel works across all disposal types and will confirm which rules apply to your specific situation before any work begins.
What does CGT advice from DG Accountancy cost?
Fees are fixed and agreed upfront before any work starts. The cost depends on the complexity of the disposal — a straightforward residential property sale is simpler to handle than a business with deferred consideration or multiple assets. You will receive a written quote after the discovery call, with no obligation to proceed. There are no hourly rates and no invoices that grow after the fact.
I have already completed the disposal and have not reported it yet. Is it too late?
Not necessarily, though time matters. Property disposals should be reported within 60 days of completion and a penalty applies if that window is missed — but the return can still be filed late, and the sooner it is done, the smaller the penalty exposure. For disposals reported through Self Assessment, the annual deadline applies. Get in touch promptly and Daniel will assess where you stand and what needs to happen.
Is there a long-term contract if I use DG Accountancy for ongoing tax support?
No. For one-off CGT work there is no contract at all — you pay for the service and that is the end of it. If you move to an ongoing monthly package for broader tax and accounting support, there is no minimum term. Clients stay because the service works, not because they are tied in.
Can you advise on the timing of a disposal to reduce the CGT liability?
Yes, and this is often where the most value sits. The tax year in which a disposal completes determines which annual exempt amount and which rate applies. If you are considering a disposal that has not yet completed, it is worth reviewing the timing before exchange — particularly if you have other gains in the same tax year or are close to a rate threshold. That conversation costs nothing at the discovery call stage.
Do you handle CGT for non-UK residents disposing of UK property?
Yes. Non-UK residents who dispose of UK property have their own reporting requirements under the Non-Resident CGT regime and must file within 60 days of completion regardless of whether a tax liability arises. Daniel can handle the calculation and filing for non-resident disposals and will confirm the applicable rules for your situation during the initial call.
