I was working backwards from employment, property, CGT Summary pages, when I got to page 2. I've ticked 'yes' to Box 7, saying I've filled out CGT summary but what's a computation? I've put in my disposal proceeds and gain. I'm guessing it'll be some sort of work sheet. I've ticked box 53 and written  in box 54 that valuation is as at time of death. What happens if I don't provide a computation?
If I put in a hand written calculation, would I note the purchase price in full and then divide by 3 to give my share or just 'my shared' minus one third of legal fees etc? I thought I'd finally got it, till I came to 'computation'  :/

    The computation is the calculation of the gain- Proceeds less costs with the application of appropriate reliefs.

    Your post is incredibly confusing. Where do you think your CGT liability has come from?  You speak about value at time of death...is this to do with Sale of assets after death S a beneficiary...or executor????

    Sorry, it's mind boggling. Family member died over 3 years ago. Solicitor said best to transfer i to 3 (siblings) names. That happened in 2020 and was sold soon after. When I look at the valuation report which was done in 2020, it gives the valuation as 'at time of death', prior to 2020 and that's the figure my siblings said to use when working out gain.
