We have worked with Syd, over the past couple of years for the Nursery accounts which can be demanding. He has also helped to navigate our way through covid and any grants or insurance claims we have put in. Gives great practical strategic advice to help move the business forward.

Nothing ever appears to be too much trouble and his support not only during Covid was more than you would hope for. He goes that bit further, gives very sound and good advice and makes you feel that things are achievable. He will always respond to you contacting him quickly. We have no hesitation in recommending Syd.

Where an individual sells a property in the UK, there may be capital gains tax to pay on any profits realised. However, the way in which the gain gets reported to HMRC is accompanied by a less than straightforward process which depends upon whether the property being sold is residential or commercial and whether the seller is UK resident or overseas resident. This guide helps to provide clarity on what the reporting rules are and is focused on gains made after the 6th April 2020. The rule for gains arising before that are a little different and aren't covered here.

Whilst a full consideration of the various regimes abroad is a matter for locally based specialists, this article aims to give you an overview of some of the rules that apply in the UK and provide you with some pointers for additional research.
