Time is running out for anyone who sold a second home during 2019 to 2020 to declare it on their Self Assessment tax return.
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is reminding customers that they have until 31 January 2021 to declare any profit made from selling a UK residential property, which was not their main home, during the 2019 to 2020 financial year, and pay the Capital Gains Tax that is due.
