hello everyone,
I am resident in UK for 5 1/2 years in full-time employment as higher rate (40%) tax payer.
My wife is stay-at-home-mum, lives with me in UK, not in employment and not a tax payer.
Between us (shared ownership) we own an apartment in Belgium, bought with mortgage in 2004 as primary residence and was used as such until 2010 until we moved into UK.
Since then and to this moment this apartment is rented out to some family under long-term lease contract typical for Belgium.
Most of rental income is offset by mortgage monthly payments, landlord charges and by belgian cadastral taxes.
That's our only property in Belgium and we don't have any other income in there.
Thinking of selling it currently, however bit worried about capital gain CGT taxation (in both UK and Belgium!) and not sure where to get guidance from as googling returns really inconsistent and conflicting results. Wanted to make calculated decision....
thanks!
