You don’t pay Capital Gains Tax when you sell (or ‘dispose of’) your home if all of the following apply:- you have one home and you’ve lived in it as your main home for all the time you’ve owned it
- you haven’t let part of it out - this doesn’t include having a single lodger
- you haven’t used part of it for business only
- the grounds, including all buildings, are less than 5,000 square metres (just over an acre) in total
- you didn’t buy it just to make a gain
If you don’t meet all these criteria you may have to pay some Capital Gains Tax.
