Foreign disposal of property and UK CGT

I sold my property in Beijing, China last year. I am UK citizen and do online self-assessment. So I'm looking at submitting a self-assessment before 31 Jan 2025 to declare this capital gains. I believe Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) means relief in the way of credit for foreign tax paid (FTCR) is available is available to me. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/foreign-tax-credit-relief-capital-gains-hs261-self-assessment-helpsheet/hs261-foreign-tax-credit-relief-capital-gains-2018 A few other questions arose as part of my research/preparation: 1. Do I need to translate all evidence related to the sales, tax and allowable expenses? Does this have to be done by a third-party translation service with some approved certification? If so, what would that be? 2. Do all those evidences must be uploaded in “Disposed chargeable assets” – “add attachments” section? 3. Are travel costs to China, in order to facilitate sale of property, count as allowable expenses? 4. Just to confirm, dependent resident relief would not apply to this property that was purchased in 2013. :( 5. The payment will be a large sum as an individual, and not full amount have been transferred into UK. Is there any possibility to spread payment over 2-5 years? Which section of online self-assessment do I fill in to do this and is there any interest applied? Thanks very much

Hi Wicks87,
1. The income/expenses need to be converted to sterling but the evidence is not yet required
2. You do not need to upload them at this time but they may be asked for at a later date at which time they must be translated to English
3. If it was solely for this then yes.
4. Correct
5. As you have already had the benefit of the gain it would be expected to be paid in full by the due date.
You would need to apply for a payment plan but there is no guarantee this would be approved.
You cannot include this request in the return as this would need to be done separatley.
Interest will be applied if not paid by the due date.
Thank you.
