Capital Gains Tax advice for doctors
We help doctors, consultants, GPs and locums review, calculate and report capital gains on property, shares, crypto, business assets and other disposals. We check the CGT position before the figure is entered on a tax return or reported to HMRC.
Capital gains are not just a sale price minus a purchase price.
A doctor’s CGT position may involve property history, ownership shares, valuations, improvement costs, losses, private residence relief, overseas residence issues, crypto records or Self Assessment reporting. We review the facts before calculating the gain.
UK residential property gains can need fast HMRC reporting.
Where a taxable UK residential property gain arises, a separate online CGT report and payment may be required before the Self Assessment return is filed.
Reliefs and losses should be reviewed before the gain is declared.
We consider private residence relief, final period relief, losses, enhancement costs, ownership history and other factors that may affect the taxable gain.
Residence and overseas issues can change the CGT route.
Returning doctors, non-resident doctors and doctors with overseas assets may need residence, treaty and foreign tax credit points reviewed alongside CGT.
We check the gain, the deadline and the correct HMRC reporting route.
CGT can be dealt with through a standalone property report, Self Assessment, disclosure or advisory calculation depending on the asset, deadline and tax year.

A property disposal may involve private residence relief, a period of letting, joint ownership, mortgage records, improvement costs, valuations or a non-resident element. The calculation should be prepared from the records, not estimated from memory.
If a UK residential property report is required, the CGT position may need to be reviewed quickly. The Self Assessment return may still need to include the disposal later, depending on the facts.
What we usually need to calculate Capital Gains Tax.
The exact records depend on the asset sold and your tax position. We will confirm the final list after reviewing your enquiry.
What was sold, date of sale, sale proceeds and ownership share, including whether the asset was jointly owned.
Purchase date, purchase price, legal costs, stamp duty and acquisition records for property or other assets.
Selling costs, enhancement costs, improvement invoices and valuation records where relevant.
Residence history, letting periods, losses, previous claims and ownership changes to review possible reliefs.
Income level, residence status, Self Assessment position and HMRC letters to check the correct reporting route.

Common Capital Gains Tax questions from doctors.
These answers are general guidance only. The final position depends on the asset, dates, records, residence status and tax year.
Do doctors need to report Capital Gains Tax separately from Self Assessment?
Sometimes. UK residential property gains may need a separate online report and payment before the Self Assessment return is filed. The Self Assessment return may still need to include the disposal later.
Can private residence relief reduce a property gain?
It may reduce or remove the gain where the property was your only or main residence for qualifying periods. The calculation depends on occupation history, ownership dates and any periods of letting or absence.
Can losses reduce Capital Gains Tax?
Allowable capital losses may reduce chargeable gains, but they need to be calculated and reported correctly. Brought-forward losses may also be relevant.
Can you help with crypto gains?
Yes. We can review exchange records, disposals, gains, losses and Self Assessment reporting for crypto assets. Crypto records often need careful reconstruction before figures are submitted.
