Capital taxes

This group of factsheets covers taxes on the disposal, generally by way of sale, of capital assets and the taxes due on death.

Capital gains tax

A capital gain arises when certain capital assets are sold at a profit. We consider the taxation of gains and outline the reliefs available.

Capital gains tax and the family home

We consider whether any tax is due on the sale of the family home and the availability of principal private residence and other reliefs.

Inheritance tax - a summary

Inheritance tax (IHT) is levied on a person’s estate when they die and on certain gifts made during an individual's lifetime. We set out the principles.

Inheritance tax avoidance - pre-owned assets

We consider the Pre-Owned Assets rules, along with the rules for determining the income tax charge levied on the previous owner of an asset.

Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) is payable by the purchaser in a land transaction which occurs in Scotland. This factsheet summarises the rates of LBTT which apply.
