Report and pay your Capital Gains Tax

  • Written by Katie
  • August 5, 2025
  • Business News

If you sold a property in the UK on or after 6 April 2020:

You must report and pay any Capital Gains Tax due on UK residential property within:

  • 60 days of selling the property if the completion date was on or after 27 October 2021
  • 30 days of selling the property if the completion date was between 6 April 2020 and 26 October 2021

You may have to pay interest and a penalty if you do not report and pay on time.

If you sold a residential property before 6 April 2020, you must report your gains in a Self Assessment tax return for the tax year following the sale.

If your property was jointly owned

You must report your own gain or loss. Special rules apply if you give a UK property to your spouse, your civil partner, or to charity.

Before you start

Work out your gain to find out if you have to report and pay tax.

If you’re a UK resident, you do not need to report your gains online if your total gains are less than the tax-free allowance.

Report and pay online

Use a Capital Gains Tax on UK property account to:

  • report and pay any tax due on UK property
  • view or change a previous return
