From earlier posts in this forum, I understood that any Capital Gains on selling property abroad must be reported in the online Self-Assessment Tax Return after the end of the tax year (i.e. for property sold in 2024/25 by 31 January 2026). I now read elsewhere on the Internet that "The deadlines for reporting and paying Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on overseas property disposals have been tightened. Taxpayers are now required to report any gain and pay the due tax within 60 days of the completion of the sale. " Is this correct, and if so could you please provide a link to this rule on the HMRC website. If this is the case, then please advise on how such gains should be reported (online, paper etc.) Many thanks

I inherited a property in Germany from my father in 1982 which I am now planning to sell. Back in 1982, the market value of the property was not determined as there was no requirement to do so for German IHT purposes. Could you please provide guidance on the valuation that should be used to determine the Capital Gain under these circumstances?

On my Self Assessment page, I tried to change the method for delivery of documents from "Post" to "Online". I entered my e-mail address and clicked the button to submit the information but did not the verification code by e-mail. I tried twice before giving up. I tried the online help for technical issues but the chat bot did not understand my issue at all. Who can help me with this issue?
