I live overseas. Do I still need to file a CGT return for a UK property sale?

Yes. Non-UK residents are required to report the sale of UK residential property to HMRC within 60 days of completion, regardless of whether any tax is owed. This applies even if you made a loss or the gain is fully covered by Private Residence Relief. The reporting obligation still stands. Non-residents may also be subject to Non-Resident Capital Gains Tax (NRCGT), which has applied to UK residential property sales since April 2015. The tax calculation for non-residents can be more complex, particularly around the rebasing rules that apply to property owned before April 2015. We handle non-resident CGT returns regularly.
