What is the capital gains impact of Buy To Let?
When the time comes to sell your buy to let property, you will be responsible for paying any taxes on your capital gains. That is, any profit that you make on the sale of the property is considered a capital gain, and you will be responsible for paying tax on that amount.
However, for an individual, in the 2016/17 tax year, you are allowed a tax allowance up to £11,100 for capital items. This is a tax allowance specifically for capital items and is separate from your annual personal income tax allowance. If you sell your property and personally make more than the £11,100 allowance, you will pay a tax rate between 18% - 28% on the profit, depending on the amount of income and capital gains you have.

I just wanted you to know that the experience with Charelston has been utterly professional and competent in every aspect of this transaction. The solicitor I instructed was not good at all and I would have walked away from this deal a long time ago had Andrew not consistently calmed me down and gone the extra mile to find solutions to any stumbling blocks that came up. I have been particularly impressed by his balance of never pestering but always remaining attentive and responsive when required. I was a director of a FTSE financial services firm for 12 year so know about the importance of customer service and the thing I notice most in the industry is how rare decent service actually is. Well done to you on employing, training and motivating staff of Andrew’s calibre, I would certainly use you again in the future.
