Capit Gains Tax Question

newbieni

Hi All,

I have owned my house since 2014 and I have lived in it since then with the exception of one year just prior to COVID when I let it out. The let was an absolute disaster with the house severely damaged and little to no rental payments made.

I am now hoping to move house and sell this property, I assume I will be liable to pay some tax for the year I did not live in the property. Is there a way that I can easily calculate this?

Thanks in advance.
