Hmm was surprised by your statement so took some of the steps myself.
Googled ‘pay self assessment tax’
In the results chose ‘Pay your self assessment tax bill’ (1st item on the results page)
Clicked on the green button labelled’Pay self assessment now’

Next page says ‘Do you want to sign into your tax account’ I chose the No option and then pressed continue.
The next web page offered ways to pay like bank transfer, direct debit and paying by card.
i chose pay by card and clicked continue.
I then read another web page about card fees and clicked continue.
On the next page I was asked to enter my UTR number.
I didn’t take it any further.
Would these steps not work in your situation?

There is an additional return to do, within 30 days of the completion of the sale, before paying the tax due. It appears the only way to do that is by having a Government Gateway login.

Exactly! That’s what I have been saying. So my husband cannot pay his part of CGT due! Better we decide not to sell, continue to rent and let the children deal with the sale when we die!

Thanks and sorry was not aware. Thought it was covered in the yearly tax return.

No problem! You were still very helpful and I appreciate it!

Well, problem solved....sort of! 

I called HMRC and there is a stand-alone form to be completed when the property is sold. It is not available online and I have to wait until we have a completion date. The important thing is to report the sale within the 30 days. Receiving an assessment of payment due may take a month or two but once the report was made in time, there would be no penalty. Apparently they are working on making it easier for non UK citizens to register with online submissions but, due to security risks, this is taking time! 

Thank you all for responding!

I am non uk tax resident and have to pay uk tax via self assessment on paper forms, I cannot access online, it says on HMRC site.

I was looking last night and it seems cgt dies with the person,  so if the rules don't change and I don't need the money I intend to die with the rentals in place. Strange, as if I sold whilst living I would pay cgt, then iht.

That might be the best course of action! Once you have good renters.
