Red Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Suppose I plan to buy a property in France as my principal residence and let out my UK house. Presumably my UK house then becomes a secondary residence and if I were to sell it I would have to pay Capital Gains Tax in either UK or France?My questions is - is the CGT avoidable? What if I made the UK house my principal residence prior to selling it - how long would I have to live there in order to avoid CGT?Can anyone help me with this please....?Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last I heard non-UK residents are not subject to UK CGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
