Hi,

I am planning on selling an apartment in the UK fairly soon in order to finance a new home here. I bought the apartment a good few years ago for £110. It is now worth £180. My question is what taxes etc.. do I have to pay over here when I sell the property. It looks like I am due to pay CGT @ 20%. Is this 20% of the profit only? Are there other charges that people are aware of?

In addition am I still classed as a first time buyer. The only property I have ever bought is the apartment in the UK. It makes a big different with the stamp duty etc..

Appreciate your answers..
