I have an internet sales business - a while ago I built another site
which is a going concern and I woudl like to sell it.
Apart from finding it hard to value, I don't know what capital gains
tax I would have to pay - I want to keep the money I get for it for
personal use (probably up to £5000).
I can't put a cost on the building of the business- it was mostly my
time (a lot of it!) with small amount of money on software and then
advertising. I will be keeping the main business going. I am a sole
trader with no employees.
Can someone please advise if any lump sum I receive from the sale will
attract CGT? Thanks.


If you are not paying tax on the income you receive from the site I
think the CGT issue will be insignificant when HMRC catch up with
you. Are you paying tax on the income from the site?
