CGT 30-day rule - what rate?

Didn't find your answer?

I have a client who is about to make a chargeable gain on a residential property (the first one since the 30-day rule came in). Given that we're only a month into a new tax year, and the client has no idea what their income will be for the rest of the year, how am I supposed to calculate the effective CGT rate to apply, and accurately calculate the CGT they need to pay? 

Thank you.

It’s your best guess... anything goes as long as reasonable

You don't. You use a guesstimate and then it's all re calculated on the tax return later.

Cgt reporting and the tax payable are just estimates.

Whatever you can justify is grand.

It'll all be sorted out later.

See paras 7, 14 and 15 Sch2 FA 2019, especially para14(5)(a).
