Hi,
There are special rules for Capital Gains Tax on gifts or assets you dispose of to your spouse or civil partner or charity. The normal rules apply for gifts to others.
There is a calculator below, to help you work out if a gain arises.
Tax when you sell property
Please note that as this is a foreign property, all aspects of the calculation must be in UK pounds sterling. Under the terms of Self Assessment, we do not provide an official exchange rate and the onus is on the individual to use a just and reasonable exchange rate for each acquisition and disposal.
For your convenience, there are exchange rates at:
National Archives: Exchange rates from HMRC in CSV and XML format
For older rates at:
National Archives: Foreign exchange rates and spot rates: 1 January 1989 to 31 March 2009
You are free to use any of the supplied rates or one of your own choosing.
The disposal of a foreign property should be declared in a self assessment tax return, even if no gain arises.
Thank you.
