    Hi Wardrobe

    If you got more than £32,800 for your property then you should include it on your tax return even though you didn't make any money.

    Rules on property can be a bit messy, especially if you ever lived in the house you sold, so it might be a good idea to contact HMRC to get their help filling in your self assesment form.
