Capital gains tax when moved to sheletered accomodation but didn't sell home within 9 months
Hi my mother had to be persuaded to move into a rented bungalow as she could no longer manage the stairs in her property. She had lived there for 60 years, is 90 and has a number of health issues including dementia. She didn't want her flat sold as wanted to see if she would settle in her new home. She has now agreed she can't move back her and the flat can be sold but worried by the time sale goes through it might be over the 9 months allowed. Will she have to pay capital gains tax?
