How long does it take for HMRC to reply about Capital Gains Tax

Cazzaloulou68

Morning, has anyone got an idea of how long it is taking HMRC to reply at the moment? I reported online the capital gains tax following completion on the house that we have sold. After it just said we will contact you to let you know how to pay. Just trying to get an idea of time scales before i think about chasing a response (just want to get everything sorted and filed away now). Thanks

I would not wait you have to pay CGT on house sales within 60 days of completion.

Ive reported it online, it did say they would contact me with details of how to pay. Can i just pre-empt that and pay online somewhere? I did only do this on Monday, so i have a few weeks before i need to worry about missing the 60days. When i sign back into the account it set up-there is no option to pay.

Please ignore my previous reply, that does not apply to estates you do have to wait for a reply as there is no way to pay it until they contact you.
