DS Burge & Co

5 Stars - Based on 87 User Reviews

I started using DS Burge and Co following a recommendation from my brother. I have been with them now for 6 or 7 years now and I always find them to be extremely responsive and efficient. Kieran and Darius are extremely knowledgeable and up to date. I have recommended them to a number of friends who have started using them and then told me how good they. This reflects well on me but it has also confirmed my impression that they are a quality outfit.

We have used DS Budge & Co since we set up the company 11 years ago and I can honestly say that we wouldn’t still be here if it hadn’t been for their assistance over the years. They are not only first rate accountants but trusted, loyal advisors and friends – I could not recommend them more highly.

I use an accountant to give me comfort that I'm paying and have paid the right amount of tax. Kieran and his team do that and more at very fair prices! Their help during a routine HMRC review last year was invaluable and was handled in a calm and professional manner at all times. I can't recommend them highly enough and have recommended them to a number of acquaintances. If you're looking for a local accountant you should use DS Burge & Co!

I started my own business at the beginning of the year, and I decided to use DS Burge as my accountants based on recommendations from a few friends who were long term customers.So far their levels of service and professionalism have been fantastic.

I’ve been using Kieran from DS Burge & co for a number of years now and I can’t rate them highly enough. I had never used a professional accountant for my self assessment before, so was anxious at how it would work and what to expect. Kieran was fantastic, he put me at ease immediately and was great at explaining everything to me, and answered all my questions in a clear and extremely helpful way. Since our initial meet, he had always been incredibly responsive to any emails or calls from me. Very professional, super responsive, great service. I wouldn’t use anyone else.

Do I pay capital gains tax on property?

You will have to pay capital gains tax on the ‘gain’ from any sale or disposal of property that is not your main home (Principle Private Residence). For example:

Buy-to-let properties
Inherited Property

Any gain made from the sale or disposal of business assets (land or buildings) are also subject to capital gains tax.

If you are a landlord or private individual looking to understand your tax liability on the sale or potential sale of a property, please get in touch to see how we can help. There may also be tax relief available to you.

Capital gains tax on the sale of shares

Alongside gains made on the sale or disposal of land and building assets, you may also need to pay capital gains tax on shares and other investments.

Examples of shares and investments that you may need to pay tax on includes:

Shares not wrapped in an ISA or PEP
Certain bonds, such as Premium Bonds

There are many other factors that apply to the Capital Gains Tax applicable to the sale or disposal of shares, for example:

The date the shares were bought and subsequently sold
Fees paid to stockbrokers
If shares were purchased as part of a ‘Rights Issue’ or through another vehicle such as an investment club.

Due to the many complexities surrounding the calculation of stocks and shares gains, combined with continually changing HMRC legislation, it’s easy to see why many businesses and individuals come to DS Burge & Co for Capital Gains Tax Advice.
