Disposing of property overseas isn’t just a transaction - it’s a tax event that can affect your wider financial position.

For UK residents, Capital Gains Tax typically applies to gains made on foreign property. Add in overseas tax rules, different reporting obligations, and residency considerations, and it’s easy to see where complexity creeps in.

What matters:
- Your UK tax status determines whether CGT applies
- Your total income affects the rate you pay
- Not all costs are treated equally, improvements count, repairs don’t
- Double taxation agreements can help prevent being taxed twice.

It’s about getting the full picture early, not dealing with surprises later.
