Hello all,Last September I sold my property in the UK.  I am not British and I was registered as non-resident Landlord for tax purposes for many year. I was told by the estate agents I should sell it before the next tax year (i.e 2015-2016) so that I avoid the new Capital gain tax introduction on non-residents.I am trying to find a link to articles that proves this fact, i,e. that when doing my tax declaration this year, since I still ought to do a last one, I won't have to pay CGT as I sold this in 2014. Any help greatly appreciated on this matter.  My UK accountant last year scared the hell out of me by telling me I would have to pay a substantial amount, only to retreat when I told him that according to my estate agents I would be fine.  So I would like some trustworthy article or else before getting back to him for my tax return.Many thanks! AnaRom

Well there has been lots on this and all seems quite clear that it will only apply to properties sold after the start of this tax year (6th Apr 2015). However this document is the and gives the Finance Bill 2015 as the Act it is covered under. The Act will be published if you feel better looking it up.
