60 Day CGT Returns

Clear support with 60 Day Capital Gains Tax returns

Practical help with Capital Gains Tax reporting for UK property disposals where a 60 day return is required, helping you understand the information needed and complete the reporting process clearly.

Capital Gains Tax Support

Property disposal reporting without unnecessary confusion

Selling or disposing of a UK property can sometimes create a Capital Gains Tax reporting requirement. Where the 60 day reporting rules apply, there can be a relatively short period in which to gather the information and complete the relevant return.

MB Accountants LTD can help review the details of the disposal, organise the information needed and prepare the relevant Capital Gains Tax figures for reporting.

We focus on making the process as clear as possible, explaining what records we need and helping you understand the figures before the return is completed.
