Hi Sam, thanks.
So a couple of questions;

Of course

Ask Your Own Tax Question
Customer: replied 12 days ago.
1) So the commercial property was sold in May 2022. Does it need be part of my 2021 year end accounts? or 2022?

Possibly neither as it was sold in the 2022/2023 tax year so on the 2023 tax return that goes live after 05/04/2023 and is due into HMRC by 31/01/2024

2) My accountant has added the 10% and the 20% rate together to make up the amount due to be paid to HMRC. Is this correct ? OR is it one or the other depending on my income for the year?

Hi

You are allowed 10% charged on the equivalent of what unused basic rate bands you have for the year and based on your annual incomes your account has shown (which are £9500 and £7500 respectively then you basic rate band unused position is then £37700 each he just made a typo error so then

£29452 x 10% = £2945.20 each

Thanks

Ah ok, so its a typo. That makes sense. And if its 20% could you give me the calculation?

Yes of course so if your total income for the year is more than £50270 then there is no unused basic rate band left so £29452 x 20% = £5890.40 each

Thanks

Ah Ok, thanks Sam. One final question, ( ignore me for lack of understanding! ) How did you arrive at the £29,452.00

Its from the computation

Ask Your Own Tax Question

My apologies

Ive used the wrong figures

Ask Your Own Tax Question

They are 

166,109 gain each after the annual allowances of £12300

Okay sure no problem. So your view is that the amount of CGT i pay to HMRC from the sale of the property would be £2945.20 each or £5890.40 each?

So £166109

£37700 at 10% = £3770

Remaining  £128409 x 20% = £25681.80

Total tax due £29451.80 if your annual incomes are less than £12570 a year

If they are more than£50270 a year and all the gain is at 20% then £166109 x 20% = £33221.80

Thanks
