CGT on estate reporting.

A few days ago I submitted an online Capital Gains Tax on UK property account return for my late Mother's estate when her house was sold at a greater amount than that reported through the IHT reporting system. I have received a response (which was probably auto-generated) which states that I should "Sign in to your Capital Gains Tax on UK property account. Check if you have any actions to complete." However when I sign in, there are no options except to start a new return or view or amend the account information. How long does it normally take HMRC to inform how much CGT there is due or do I need to periodically check for updates on the CGT on UK property account? Also contained within the email response was "If you need to file a Self Assessment tax return you’ll need to provide details from this return in your Self Assessment tax return." This has confused me as I believed that when reporting a CGT gain on a deceased's estate that there would be no need to provide details in a self assessment tax return. If there is a requirement to provide these details in a self assessment tax return does that apply to all executors and beneficiaries or just to me personally as the person filing the return and what extra tax implications are involved?

Hi,
The online capital gains service should reply to you shortly after you submit your capital gains details, confirming the payment reference number.  
It should also give you a prompt to make a payment of the tax due.  
Have you signed into your own account and not that of the estate?
Thank you.

Hello I submitted the capital gain 10 days ago on 10th September but have not yet had response. I had to open a capital gains tax account in order to report the gain as I have never had to deal with CGT before but upon checking it appears that I have used my self assessment government gateway ID. The report I filed was filed as an estate. What then happens to this report as it is now superfluous? I have now tried to open a new CGT for the estate and report the gain there but have come up against a problem. When I try to set up a separate account for the estate I get to this question: Does the trust or estate have a Trust Registration Number? However when I answer no (because it is for an estate and not a trust) the next page states: You’ll need to register the trust and To use this service, you’ll need to: Register the trust (opens in new window). Sign into this service using the HMRC online username and password you used to register the trust. Any advice on how I need to proceed would be appreciated. Thanks

When a CGT on property return is submitted you get notification back in 2 seconds via automated email, confirming the tax due and the payment due by date. Part of the return completing process is that it tells you exactly how much is payable, which you have to accept or amend (with reasons) to complete and submit the return. If you didnt get a figure/email the return has not been completed/submitted correctly, this should be visibile within the account.

Hi,
If you have reported the gain as an estate, you will need to log into the capital gains account for the estate and cancel to declaration by changing the entries to nil.  
For Trusts and personal capital gains, you create a capital gains account using your own personal government gateway user ID and password. You can do this here: Report and pay your Capital Gains Tax
If you still experience issues, you will need to contact our online services team.

Thank you.

Hi HMRC 19 Thanks for the response. It now looks like I reported the CGT gain correctly using my Government gateway ID to create a Capital Gains Tax on UK property account and report this gain as an estate. The issue was that although I received an email confirming that HMRC had received the report, the system had not informed how to pay. After contacting HMRC on telephone number 0300 200 3300 (which was indicated as CGT general enquiries) the advisor was unable to resolve the issue and informed me that I should contact the CGT specialist team (I presume) on 0300 200 3884. Upon phoning the specialist team the advisor was able to confirm that the report had been filed correctly but was puzzled as to why there was no payment information. However, they phoned back the next day and were able to take my payment during the phone call but were still unable to work out why the system did not provide me with payment information. My problem is now therefore resolved. Thanks to those who took time to respond.
