Capital Gains Tax

in Cutting tax
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me understand my capital gains tax. I live in Scotland, not sure if that's relevant.
I've just sold a flat that I've owned for 16 years. I lived in it for 12 years and rented it for the last 4 years.
We made 90k profit and myself and my wife are both close to the higher bracket of tax.
How do I work out what I should expect to pay and is there anything obvious I should do to reduce this cost.
Thanks in advance, milo909.

read this, it covers all you need
adjust it for the fact the property is jointly owned (I assume) with your wife so the gain is in your respective shares and each needs to calculate their own PRR and LR
if the 90k is before any PRR and LR deductions then the chance of you having any tax to pay is totally non existent

Thanks 00ec25, I'll have a proper read tomorrow but that looks pretty promissing!
Thanks for taking the time to reply, milo.0 -
