2 Answers
I took a personal loan and bought an overseas residantial plot two years ago. Now I want to sell my overseas residantial plot/land and buy a house in UK and want to use sales proceeds of oversease residantial plot to cover my deposit (for morgage). Do i need to pay capital gain tax? if yes, then do i have any tax relief? Please advice.

The 'tax relief' is the annual exempt amount, which is the first £10600 of any gain.
