Are you unsure about how Capital Gains Tax applies when you sell an asset?

Capital Gains Tax is levied on the profit you make when disposing of an asset that has increased in value. It’s important to note that it's the gain, not the total amount received, that’s taxable. For instance, if you sold an artwork for £25,000 that you purchased for £5,000, you'd pay tax only on the £20,000 gain.

Ignoring this can lead to unexpected tax liabilities or penalties if you fail to report your gains correctly.

At Fairhurst, we provide support by:

- Helping you determine which assets are subject to Capital Gains Tax
- Assisting with reporting requirements and deadlines
- Providing guidance on available allowances and reliefs
- Ensuring you maintain accurate records for your transactions

Don’t let Capital Gains Tax catch you off guard. Reach out to us for clarity and assistance.

Are you aware of when you need to register for VAT? Many business owners are unsure about the thresholds and requirements, which can lead to confusion.

To register for VAT, your taxable turnover must exceed £90,000 in the last 12 months or be expected to exceed that amount in the next 30 days. Additionally, if your business is based outside the UK and you supply goods or services here, you'll need to register regardless of turnover.

Neglecting to register on time can result in penalties and backdated VAT payments you weren't prepared for.

At Fairhurst, we simplify your VAT journey by:

- Assessing your turnover to determine your registration needs
- Guiding you through the registration process
- Providing ongoing support to manage VAT compliance

Take control of your VAT obligations. Connect with us today for expert advice.
