Capital Gains Tax

Capital gains tax affects many people in the UK, whether it is disposing of investment property or selling a business.

What makes this tax difficult to digest is the different tax rates associated with different disposals as well as the various tax reliefs and exemptions available.

Penalties for filing errors are as severe as ever before, and so it is imperative that individuals seek professional advice in advance of any relevant disposal to avoid any adverse consequences.

The trick is – get that advice BEFORE you dispose of that asset, as once the asset is sold your tax planning options have in nearly all cases gone too.

So if you would like a capital gains tax consultation please contact us now.

about our service

I moved to James Stanley less than eight months ago and they have helped restructure my businesses and given me a much greater insight into my finances. I no longer feel daunted by tax and financial decision making because I have my incredible account manager on hand to advise me. Moving to James Stanley was one of the best business decisions I have made since becoming an entrepreneur.

We are really pleased with the help and support given by James Stanley and Co. over the years. This financial year our accounts have been dealt with by Sarah Kent. We are most impressed and her help, advice and support has been first class. Please say thank you to Sarah (and Jayne Cox) for all their help

We have used James Stanley and Co for about 20 years - that probably speaks for itself. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, professional in their approach and always aim to provide a value-added service

Hi Andrew. Just a note to thank you and your staff for all of their assistance in what has been a very difficult and testing year. May I wish you, your staff and their families a happy and safe festive season. Best wishes.

We’ve worked with Mark James at James Stanley for just under three years, and his support has been outstanding. He’s taken the time to truly understand our business and has helped structure it in a way that’s both efficient and forward-thinking. Mark’s professionalism, insight, and dedication have made a real difference, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to clients, friends, and family—as we already have many times.”

Since 2020, James Stanley & Co have not only ensured all my accounting compliance needs are taken care of, but also helped set plans with us to achieve both personal and business growth objectives to date. They very much are the financial arm to my business and I could not operate without them.

After being presented with a very unwelcome HMRC demand, I immediately contacted James, Stanley & Co and after liaising and challenging HMRC on the matter my demand was reduced to nil! Many thanks for your help, professionalism and determines approach. I would not hesitate in recommending the services of James, Stanley & Co Ltd.
