Do I Need Capital Gains Tax Valuation?
Ordinarily, capital gains are determined by what you paid for an asset (plus expenses) minus how much you sold it for (less expenses).But if the following circumstances apply, you’ll have to submit a market valuation to HMRC or to the district valuer.
- Tax on gifts: the tax you pay on capital gains depends on the value of the property at the time you gave it away.
- Depreciated sales: if you sell something for less than you paid for it, then the tax is based on the value of the property when you sell it.
- Inherited property: Capital gains tax depends on the value of the property at the time of the testator’s death.
- Buying assets prior to April 1982: the capital gains tax is paid according to what the property was worth on 31 March 1982.

Effect of Capital Gains Tax on Manchester Home Owners
You pay tax on your gain when selling or otherwise disposing of the asset, not on the amount for which you sell it for. So if you bought a flat in Manchester in 2000 for £200,000 and sold it in 2020 for £500,000, you pay CGT on the £300,000 of gain.
The price you pay depends on the proceeds of the sale and the associated income tax treatment; If you are in a high tax rate band, you could face capital gains tax of 28 per cent on residential properties, and 20 per cent on all other assets.
You will be subject to tax on any loss that has been made on the sale – but only if your total taxable gains for the year exceed any available tax-free allowance and you might also be interested in our expert panel reviewing your financial plans
