Capital gain tax


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
If you've sold a property within a year of purchase and incurred construction costs, you can likely claim these expenses when calculating your capital gains tax. While you don't need to attach receipts to your tax return, it's essential to keep all bills and payment records. These documents will be required if HMRC asks for proof of your expenses.
