Not sure what you actually owe after a disposal?
Capital gains tax catches a lot of people out. You sell a property, close a business, or exit an investment, and then the question becomes: what do I report, when, and how much do I owe? The rules around reliefs, exemptions, and payment deadlines are specific, and the consequences of getting them wrong range from HMRC penalties to paying more tax than necessary.
- Unsure whether your disposal needs to be reported, and by when
- Not certain which reliefs you are entitled to claim on the sale
- No idea whether you have overpaid or underpaid your tax on the gain
What a properly handled CGT return looks like
We work through the full picture: the acquisition cost, allowable expenses, applicable reliefs, and your annual exempt amount. The return is filed correctly, and you receive a clear summary of the liability and the payment timeline.
- We confirm whether your disposal is reportable and identify the relevant deadline
- All available reliefs are checked and claimed so you pay only what is due
- You receive a written summary of the gain calculation and what HMRC has been told
- Pricing is quoted before we start, with no changes unless your situation changes

Absolutely brilliant service. Prads is so efficient and knowledgeable. For the first time I feel well supported and informed over my self assessment returns and tax advice in general. Thank you!
Working with Prad is an absolute lifesaver as someone just starting out in the business world.

His knowledge of UK accounting and HM Revenue & Customs is second to none, and he always takes the time to explain things clearly rather than leaving me confused.
What our CGT service covers
From calculating the gain to filing the return, we handle the whole process and keep you informed at each stage. Pricing is quoted based on your specific disposal.
Gain Calculation and Relief Review
We work through the acquisition cost, improvement costs, allowable expenses, and your annual exempt amount. All relevant reliefs, including Private Residence Relief, Business Asset Disposal Relief, and Rollover Relief, are checked and applied where applicable. You receive a clear calculation showing how the liability has been arrived at.
Included as standardHMRC Reporting and Return Filing
Depending on the type of disposal, your gain may need to be reported via the UK Property Account within 60 days or through your Self Assessment tax return. We identify the correct reporting route, prepare the return, and file it with HMRC before the deadline. You are kept informed throughout and receive confirmation once submitted.
Included as standardPayment Guidance and Tax Summary
Once the return is filed, we provide a written summary of the liability, how it was calculated, and when payment is due. If the disposal also affects your Self Assessment return for the year, we flag this so there are no surprises at the January deadline. Practical, written, in plain English.

What makes the difference
Capital gains tax is not complicated once someone who knows what they are doing looks at it. Here is what that means in practice.
The Numbers Checked Before Filing
A CGT return filed with an error costs more to correct than to get right the first time. We verify the acquisition cost, improvement expenditure, and applicable reliefs before anything goes near HMRC. The calculation is documented and shared with you so you can see exactly how the liability was reached.
The Right Reporting Route, Every Time
UK residents who sell residential property must report within 60 days of completion, not at the end of the tax year. Other disposals go through Self Assessment. We confirm the correct route for your disposal, so nothing is filed late and no unnecessary penalty arises. This is one of the more common mistakes we see when clients come to us after handling it themselves.
Qualified Accountants, Regulated Practice
Wings Online Filings is an Authorised Corporate Service Provider registered with Companies House and is AML-supervised by HMRC. Our team of qualified accountants handles tax returns to a professional standard, covered by professional indemnity insurance. You are not dealing with a generalist filing service.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most clients are through the process within a few weeks of getting in touch. Here is what that looks like from your side.
Tell Us About the Disposal
Fill in the quote form or call us on 020 8089 1876. Let us know what was sold, when, and the approximate figures involved. We will confirm whether you need to report and give you a fixed quote before any work begins.
Send Us the Details
We will tell you exactly what information we need: purchase price, completion date, any improvement costs, and the sale proceeds. You send what you have and we work with it, asking only for what is genuinely needed.
We Prepare and File
We calculate the gain, check all available reliefs, and prepare the return. You review the calculation before anything is submitted. Once you are happy, we file with HMRC and send you confirmation.
You Know Exactly Where You Stand
You receive a written summary of the liability, how it was calculated, and when payment falls due. The HMRC correspondence is handled. Your return is on record. Considerably less to think about.
“Prads has been exemplary in assisting with all the paperwork and guiding me to access the relevant codes from Companies House to facilitate submission of both Accounts and HMRC tax information. Prads was extremely patient and supportive to meet the deadlines and offered specialised advice on company matters. Thank you for your expedient delivery and diligence.”
Common questions about capital gains tax returns
Do I actually need to report a capital gain, or only if I owe tax?
In most cases, if you have disposed of a UK residential property, you must report the gain to HMRC within 60 days of completion, even if no tax is payable because the gain falls within your annual exempt amount. For other asset disposals, the rules depend on whether the total disposal proceeds exceed four times the annual exempt amount or whether the gain exceeds the exempt amount. We confirm your specific reporting obligation before any work begins.
What does a capital gains tax return service cost?
Pricing is quoted based on the complexity of your disposal: the number of assets sold, whether records are straightforward, and whether any specialist reliefs need to be assessed. We give you a fixed quote before we start, so the cost is agreed in advance and does not change unless your situation turns out to be significantly different from what was described. There is no charge for a quote.
I have sold a property but I am not sure I kept all the paperwork. Can you still help?
Yes. We work with what you have and advise on what can be reconstructed or estimated where records are incomplete. For improvement costs in particular, clients often have less documentation than they expect, and we know what HMRC will and will not accept as evidence. It is worth getting in touch rather than assuming the records are too incomplete to proceed.
Is there a long-term commitment if I just need a one-off CGT return?
No. A capital gains tax return is a one-off engagement. You pay the agreed fee, we file the return, and that is it. There is no subscription, no retainer, and no obligation to use Wings for anything else. If you do need ongoing accounting support afterwards, we are happy to discuss that separately.
I sold a property and already filed through the HMRC property account. Do I still need to include it in my Self Assessment?
Yes. If you file a Self Assessment tax return, any residential property disposal reported through the UK Property Account within the year must also be declared on your Self Assessment. The 60-day payment is credited against your final Self Assessment liability, but the gain still needs to appear on the return. We coordinate both filings to make sure nothing is duplicated or omitted.
Are there reliefs that could reduce or eliminate the gain entirely?
Depending on the disposal, several reliefs may apply: Private Residence Relief where the property was your main home for part of the ownership period, Business Asset Disposal Relief on qualifying business disposals, Rollover Relief where proceeds are reinvested in qualifying assets, or Gift Hold-Over Relief on certain transfers. The annual exempt amount also reduces the taxable gain before any tax is calculated. We review all of these as part of the work.
