CGT and SDLT liabilities on sale and the definition of "main residence" when renting

by meehr

Hi folks, looking for thoughts on both CGT and SDLT considerations.

My spouse and I jointly own a one bed flat (property "b") that we moved out of five years ago for somewhere bigger; we now rent a three bed place (because we have a kid and couldn't afford to actually buy something...

I am so sorry, I had a total brain freeze when replying first and read 2018 as 2015. It was 2015. I subsequently edited my post. Apols!...

by Gordon999

The CGT calculation is only for the duration of property ownership from 2010 to 2021. You moved out from the house in 1985 , so you cannot claim any residence period in family home.

Your Capital Gain = Sale proceeds - Purchase cost in 2010 - Renovation cost - Legal costs ( conveyancing...

Capital gain tax on property bought jointly but later changed into sole ownership.

by Jeniken

Hi Everybody,

Please could anybody help me the correct calculation on an investment property bought as joint tenants with a partner (we have never been married) in 1999 for £80,000.
We split up and I took out a mortgage for £112,500 and became the sole owner of the property. I have...

by Gordon999

Since there is record of buying half share in 1999 and later buying out the other half share from ex-partner , the third calculation should be used.

If you have record of taking mortgage loan for £112,500 and no other records , use that figure as your purchase cost for second half sh...

by jpkeates

When you bought property b in 2018, the current regime was in place, so there must have been some discussion and a resolution of part of your posituation then.

As you already owned a (and had both lived there), there must be some record (or at least some indication) that b was your main...

by meehr

Thanks jpkeats, that is super helpful. you are correct we both lived in both places after purchase as they were intended originally as homes.

We bought “property b” in 2015, yes - before the SDLT changes came into effect. So your steer on what constitutes “the main residence” is...

by jpkeates

I am not 100% sure of either of those points, to be honest.
I think your partner would escape purely because of the time elapsed.
But you might be caught because you're relying on the time elapsed transaction, and I think that that might allow HMRC to bring it into play.
I've never...

Reply to CGT and SDLT liabilities on sale and the definition of "main residence" when renting

by jpkeates

Your main residence is one of two things.
It's where you actually live, or, if you live in more than one place, it's where you've notified HMRC you wish to treat as your "main" home.
So it's a matter of fact in most cases, rather than a definition.
And today you clearly live...
