Worth knowing
Rules that come up in this work
Switching accountants
The main reasons people switch accountant are surprise invoices, missed deadlines and not understanding what they are being told. Switching involves a clearance letter between the firms, a transfer of records and agent authorisations, and a short handover of the current position. It takes about two weeks and should cost nothing extra.
Closing a company
A solvent company that has finished its purpose can be dissolved by voluntary strike-off: form DS01 with a £13 Companies House fee, after three months without trading and with all debts paid, final accounts and tax return filed, and assets distributed. HMRC objects to any application where returns or tax are outstanding, so the sequence matters more than the form.
Employer National Insurance
The cost of an employee is more than the salary. Employer National Insurance at 15% above £5,000 a year, the 3% minimum pension contribution, holiday pay, equipment and management time all come on top. The Employment Allowance of £10,500 reduces the National Insurance for most employers with more than one person on the payroll.
Workplace pensions and auto-enrolment
Auto-enrolment duties begin the day you take on your first employee, not when the Pensions Regulator writes to you. Eligible staff must be enrolled, contributions paid every pay period and re-enrolment carried out every three years. Director-only companies without employment contracts are usually exempt. Fines for non-compliance are fixed and escalating.
Dormant companies
Companies formed to protect a name or hold a future business are dormant but not exempt: Companies House still expects dormant accounts within nine months of the year end and a confirmation statement annually with its £50 fee, and HMRC must be told the company is dormant or it will demand Corporation Tax returns. The filings are short, but the penalties for missing them are the same as for a trading company.
The trading and property allowances
The first £1,000 of trading income and, separately, the first £1,000 of property income each year is tax free under the trading and property allowances. Below those figures no return is needed for that income. Above them you can deduct the £1,000 allowance instead of actual expenses if that is better, which suits side businesses and single-room lets with few costs.
Crypto records and reporting
HMRC treats cryptoassets as property. Swapping one token for another, spending crypto or gifting it are all disposals for Capital Gains Tax, and staking and lending rewards are income. Gains are computed under pooling rules with same-day and 30-day matching. From 2026 HMRC receives data from exchanges worldwide under the Cryptoasset Reporting Framework, so unreported activity is increasingly visible.
Questions
Capital Gains Tax questions from Queens Park
I am not UK resident but sold a UK property. Do I need to report?
Yes. Non-residents must report all UK land and property disposals within 60 days, whether or not tax is due, and residential property gains are generally rebased to April 2015 values. The rules differ from those for residents and the penalties for not reporting are the same. We handle non-resident returns regularly.
I am an executor. Do I report gains for the estate?
Yes. During the administration period the estate is a separate taxpayer with its own annual exemption and pays CGT at 24% on gains above probate value. Residential property sales by the estate are subject to the 60-day rule. We prepare the estate computations and the trust and estate return pages.
Do transfers between spouses trigger tax?
No. Transfers between spouses or civil partners living together are at no gain and no loss; the recipient takes over the original cost. This allows both annual exemptions and both basic rate bands to be used on a later sale, which is a common and legitimate way to reduce the tax on a jointly planned disposal.
What if I sell shares from an employee share scheme?
It depends on the scheme. Shares from a SAYE or SIP scheme have specific cost rules and sometimes income tax has already been paid on part of the value. Options exercised and sold on the same day may have no gain at all. We need the scheme documents and the exercise and sale figures, and we apply the correct treatment for each.
I sold my former home that I later let out. Is it all taxable?
No. Private residence relief exempts the gain for the period you lived there plus the final nine months of ownership, and certain periods of absence can qualify. The let period is taxable. Lettings relief now applies only where you shared occupation with the tenant. We apportion the gain by days and claim every qualifying period.
What costs can I deduct from the gain?
The purchase price, stamp duty and legal fees on purchase, capital improvements that are still reflected in the asset at sale (extensions, new kitchens, not repairs), and selling costs including agent and legal fees. For shares, dealing costs and stamp duty. For inherited assets, the probate value is the cost.
Do you have an office in Queens Park?
No. IGI Accounting is an online-only firm. We serve Queens Park, Brent and every other UK postcode remotely, with records sent by WhatsApp or email and everything filed electronically. The absence of local premises is why the fee for capital gains tax is the same in Queens Park as anywhere else in the country, and why there is nothing to visit and nothing to print.
Is capital gains tax in Queens Park really the same price as elsewhere?
Yes. The fee published on this page is what a client in Queens Park, Brent pays and what a client in any other part of England pays. It is confirmed in writing before work starts and the invoice matches the quote. Where a higher package applies because your situation is more complex, we say so at the quote stage, never afterwards.
