Capital Gains Tax Investigation Advice

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is charged on the profit made on an asset sale, or when the asset is gifted. Often there will be a tax liability to pay as a result, and if HMRC suspects that an individual has avoided paying Capital Gains Tax, it could open a full tax investigation into your affairs.

We are experienced in advising clients who fall under a tax investigation as a result of “coming into money”. In many cases they are not aware of the rules around their tax liabilities in these instances, and how declarations can be calculated and disclosed to HMRC through voluntary disclosure facilities.

If you have received a letter from HMRC, call us on 0113 387 5670 to discuss your disclosure options with an experienced and trusted professional.

What are CGT Investigations?

Tax investigations into Capital Gains Tax can be related to:
  • The sale of an asset, for example, a second property;
  • Inheritance Tax (IHT);
  • Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT).
If you are the subject of a tax investigation in relation to avoiding Capital Gains Tax it is important that you seek professional advice in order to establish an accurate picture of your circumstances. 

Alternatively, you may wish to make a voluntary disclosure to HMRC, and likewise, before doing so, you should speak to a professional adviser.
