  • CGT - Bought the freehold

    I have bought the freehold on the house that I have just sold. Can I offset the amount I paid for the freehold against the CGT tax liable?
  • Repairs to house before sale

    My second home has now been sold. Before it was sold i had to make some repairs to the outside walls because of some water ingress. The walls had to be repaired and re-rendered and then painted. My query is, can I offset the cost of this against my CGT ?
  • Capital Gains Tax

    I bought my house when I was single in my name only. I got married 5 years later and added my wife's name as joint owner. Now I am selling the house, which is now a second home so liable for CGT. My question is do I pay the CGT as if it is just my asset (as I bought it just in my name) or do I treat it as a joint asset and each pay our share of the CGT due?
  • CGT .. query about buying the freehold on my second home
