  • CGT on sale of UK home if only recently left UK

    Hi all, We have just sold our UK house as we have relocated to Italy. We left the UK at end of March 2023 and have just sold the house STC. Its likely to be completed in July, all being well. The house was our only property and our main residence in the UK. I am a UK citizen and my wife is Italian, We have both been working full-time in the UK for the last +10 years, my wife now works full-time in Italy, but i am currently unemployed. I have parents and other family still living in the UK, and we will visit them but don't expect this to be more than a couple of weeks a year. My question is, will we have to pay CGT (or any other tax) on the sale of the house in the UK?
