Capital Tax Gain

Postby UKNRI » Sun Nov 07, 2021 9:32 pm

HI

I am planning to sell a property in India and got few questions regarding Capital Tax gain.

When I will sell, an accountant in India will check capital tax gain in India and settle tax as required. What I want to understand is how this needs to be declared in UK?

Do we need to calculate capital tax gain calculation again as UK rules (as the calculation in UK & India are different) or just use figures from India tax return and declare that in UK tax?

You need to submit a UK return declaring the gain. You'll receive a credit against the UK tax due for the tax paid in India.

My question is how to calculate the gain? Calculation of gain is different in UK and India. Also, in India there are options to invest the gain in some funds to reduce the tax liability.

So I want to understand which calculation to use. If I use different calculations for both countries
