Capital Gains Tax planning

If you are considering selling or giving away an asset that has increased in value, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) may apply to any profits made. However, with careful planning and expert guidance, you can benefit from a range of CGT reliefs and allowances.

The CGT advisers here at David Owen have many years’ experience in assisting clients with their personal tax affairs. We can help you navigate the rules of CGT, minimising the tax burden when you sell or gift any significant assets liable for CGT, including properties, shares, and businesses.

Our expert CGT advice covers many areas, including:
