1. What is UK CGT for Australia Residents?

UK Capital Gains Tax (CGT) for Australia residents applies to gains made on UK property. Non-UK residents pay CGT only on UK residential property gains, not other assets.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Gain \) — Capital gain in GBP
• \( UK\ Rate \) — Current CGT rate for non-residents (typically 28% for residential property)

Explanation: The calculation multiplies your capital gain by the current UK CGT rate for non-residents disposing of UK residential property.

3. Importance of CGT Calculation

Details: Accurate CGT calculation is crucial for compliance with UK tax laws and to avoid penalties. Australia residents must report and pay UK CGT on UK property disposals.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your capital gain in GBP and the applicable CGT rate (default is 28% for residential property). The calculator will compute your estimated CGT liability.
