link --> rpgt tax

example RPGT tax calculation: -

March, 2010 - sign SNP

March, 2011 - 1st year 30%

March, 2012 - 2nd year 30%

March, 2013 - 3rd year 30%

March, 2014 - 4th year 20%

March, 2015 - 5th year 15%

March, 2015 onwards - 0%

Please confirm if this is the correct calculation?

simple maths and chronology of events will give you a clearer picture:-

there are 2 starting points:-

for freehold properties then from the date of your sale and purchase agreement and for leasehold properties, the date of the state consent.

for example:-

date of sale and purchase agreement 15/01/2017 then your date of ownership starts on 15/01/2017.

in order to run from that real property gains tax, you need to dispose of that property on or after 16/01/2022.
