Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Advice That Protects More of What You’ve Earned
– BUILT VALUE DESERVES SMART PROTECTIONÂ –Â
Whether you’re selling a property, exiting a business, or disposing of assets, CGT (Capital Gains Tax) can have a significant impact. At Lewis Brownlee, we help individuals and business owners plan ahead, reduce liabilities, and stay compliant. CGT isn’t always straightforward. The rules differ depending on what you’re selling, how long you’ve owned it, and your wider tax position. Reliefs and exemptions change often  – and missing one could cost you thousands. We provide CGT advice that’s clear, actionable, and tailored to your situation. And, with offices in Chichester, Midhurst, and Whiteley, our CGT specialists offer expert, local advice with national reach to boot!
Personal Capital Gains Tax Support
If you’ve made a gain from selling or gifting an asset, you may owe CGT.
This includes:
Second homes and buy-to-let properties – Selling a second home or investment property can trigger a significant CGT bill. Our Capital Gains Tax advice will help you understand your liability, apply reliefs like Private Residence Relief if available, and plan ahead to reduce what you owe. There is a 60 day window from the date of sale to report and pay any CGT due so getting advice early is vital.
Shares and investments – Gains from selling shares, funds, or crypto assets are often overlooked until it’s too late. We provide advice and calculate your gains correctly, claim losses where applicable, and time disposals for maximum efficiency.
Business assets – Whether you’re selling equipment, land, or intellectual property, CGT can apply to a wide range of business assets. Getting the right advice ensures you make the most of reliefs like Business Asset Disposal Relief and structure your exit tax-efficiently.
Personal possessions worth over £6,000 (excluding your car) – Valuable items such as antiques, art, or jewellery can trigger CGT when sold. We’ll provide CGT advice to assess your position, calculate any gain, and explore ways to legitimately reduce your tax exposure
Gifts made to others (outside of spouses or civil partners) – Even gifts can attract CGT if they rise in value and these will need to be reported to HMRC if CGT is payable. With the right CGT advice, we’ll help you understand the implications of gifting assets and how to do so tax-efficiently as part of a wider wealth plan.
