Flat let for 2 years now not occupied by owner. Will it just be the 2 years let or the whole period when the owner is not occupying that counts for CGT?

CGT is payable unless Private Residential Relief is applicable, so you're liable for CGT for the entire period when the property wasn't your main residence.When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert). -
Depends on rules operating when you sell. I'm expecting CGT rules to become more painful to pay for Covid-19 and Brex*****
Rules today are all very interesting but....I am legally unqualified: If you need to rely on advice check it with a suitable authority - eg a solicitor specialising in landlord/tenant law...Comment

The whole period it is not your ONLY principle private residence. So even if you are occupying it might not count either.Comment

The total capital gain after sale of property is apportioned between period under self occupation and under rental period .
The capital gain under the rental period is taxable at 18% or 28% after the personal capital gains allowance of £12,300 is subtracted from the taxable capital gain.Comment
