Retrospective Property Valuation

Understanding the past to inform the present, a retrospective property valuation is often crucial in litigation or negligence cases and proves invaluable for effective tax and estate planning. Such assessments are particularly essential when you need a precise evaluation of property values at a former date.

What is capital gains tax (CGT)?

Capital gains tax is incurred when you sell an asset that has appreciated in value since its acquisition. The amount of tax payable depends on several factors, including your income level and the size of the gain. For residential properties, the CGT rate could be either 18% or 28% of the gain, depending on your tax bracket.

What does non-domicile tax mean?

If you are a UK resident but your permanent home (domicile) is outside the UK, you are considered non-domiciled. Non-domiciles are required to pay UK tax on income earned within the country. However, foreign income and gains are taxable only if they are remitted to the UK, offering potential tax planning advantages.
