Worth knowing
Rules that come up in this work
The trading and property allowances
Small side incomes are covered by two £1,000 allowances, one for trading and one for property, which remove the need to register or report income below that level. Once income exceeds £1,000, the allowance can be used in place of expenses, a choice worth making deliberately: a freelancer with £900 of costs is better off with the allowance, one with £3,000 is not.
Dormant companies
A dormant company is one with no significant accounting transactions in the year, where the only permitted entries are the payment for shares on incorporation, Companies House fees and penalties. It still files a confirmation statement and simplified dormant accounts every year. A bank charge or an accountant's fee paid from the company ends dormancy and requires full accounts.
Workplace pensions and auto-enrolment
Workplace pension compliance is part of payroll, not separate from it. Each pay period the payroll assesses who is eligible, calculates employer and employee contributions on qualifying earnings between the lower and upper thresholds, and sends the contribution file to the scheme. The minimum total is 8%, and many employers choose to contribute more as a recruitment advantage.
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.
CIS deductions
The Construction Industry Scheme affects both sides of a construction payment. Contractors must verify subcontractors, deduct the right amount, issue statements and file monthly, with penalties from £100 for each late return. Subcontractors suffer deductions on turnover and recover the excess at the year end. Limited company subcontractors offset deductions against PAYE monthly instead.
Confirmation statements and identity verification
Every company must file a confirmation statement at least once a year, within fourteen days of its review date, with a £50 Companies House fee. Since November 2025 directors and people with significant control must also verify their identity with Companies House, and the confirmation statement is where existing officers confirm they have done so during the transition year.
Director's loan accounts
A director's loan account records money moving between a director and the company that is not salary or dividend. If the director owes the company money nine months and one day after the year end, the company pays section 455 tax at 35.75% of the balance, refundable only when the loan is repaid. Loans over £10,000 are also a benefit in kind unless interest is charged at HMRC's official rate.
Questions
Capital Gains Tax questions from Willesden Green
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.
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.
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.
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 is the 60-day property return?
When a UK resident sells UK residential property and tax is due, they must file a return through HMRC's Capital Gains Tax on UK property service and pay the tax within 60 days of completion. This is separate from and in addition to the annual Self Assessment. Late filing penalties mirror Self Assessment: £100 immediately, then daily and tax-geared penalties.
What are the Capital Gains Tax rates for 2026/27?
The annual exempt amount is £3,000. Gains above it are taxed at 18% to the extent they fall within your unused basic rate band and 24% above it, for all asset types including residential property. Gains qualifying for business asset disposal relief are taxed at 14% in 2025/26, rising to 18% from April 2026, on up to £1 million of lifetime gains.
Is capital gains tax in Willesden Green really the same price as elsewhere?
Yes. The fee published on this page is what a client in Willesden Green 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.
Do you have an office in Willesden Green?
No. IGI Accounting is an online-only firm. We serve Willesden Green 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 Willesden Green as anywhere else in the country, and why there is nothing to visit and nothing to print.
