RE: Selling property in India and bringing proceeds to UK
Hi,
You may have Capital Gains Tax to pay in the UK. You will need to work out if there is a gain, using the UK rules for calculating capital gains.
The acquistion and disposal costs need to be converted to UK pounds sterling, using a just and reasonable exchange rate. 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
and 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.
There is a calculator below, to help you work out if there is a gain.
