Who it is for

Capital gains tax is a tax on the profit you make when you sell something worth money, such as a home, shares or other investments.

It covers sales in the country, and sales anywhere if you count as a tax resident there (someone the country taxes as living there).

What is needed

  • Your tax status: the rules can differ for residents and non-residents.
  • Good records of what you paid, what you sold for, the dates, and any costs you can take off.
  • Tax forms sent on time.

What happens

  • Your tax status and past sales are reviewed.
