As an individual you may be liable to Capital Gains tax on the profit you make from the sale of property (that is not your main home), shares, cryptocurrency, NFTs.
As a business owner you may be liable to Capital Gains Tax on the sale of your business (whether it is the whole company or assets). This might include land and building, machinery and plant, fixtures and fittings, shares and even Intellectual Property such as trademark registrations.
As a landlord or property investor your exposure to Capital Gains Tax will be if and when you dispose of a commercial or residential property that has increased in value since the date of purchase. You will only pay CGT on the gain and some costs are deductible. You might also be able to apply certain relief such as, Private Residence Relief (PRR) and/or Lettings Relief.
