Capital Gains Tax calculation

Andykn33

I’m in the process of selling a house that I have rented out for about 8 years but prior to that was my only residence for about 7 years. I believe that I can claim some relief for the period I lived in it.  Can you please advise how this is calculated/where I can find out this information.

Many thanks

It's calculated on a monthly basis. So total months of ownership, minus relief for the months you lived in it, minus the last 9 months of ownership regardless.
You can also set the cost of improvements (not replacements of maintenance) against the gain.
Just google CGT calculation, lot of info online incl. on gov.uk.
