Time-critical
Individuals approaching or within the 60-day deadline

Clients who have missed the deadline and need urgent support
Calculation and return, start to finish
Our specialist CGT advisors help navigate the non-resident capital gains tax requirements and meet the 60-day HMRC reporting requirement.
The 60-day rule
The clock starts at completion, not exchange
Sixty days to calculate the gain, file the return and pay the tax. It applies even when no tax is due.
Day 0
Completion
The sale completes and the clock starts. Exchange does not count — completion does.
Day 1–59
Compute & elect
Gather costs, establish the base cost, run all three bases and elect the one that costs least.
Day 60
File & pay
The non-resident CGT return submitted and the tax paid. Both are due, not just the return.
Day 61+
Penalties & interest
Late filing penalties begin and escalate, with interest running on the tax from the due date.
The process
Completion to filed return, comfortably inside 60 days.
