Generally speaking, under self assessment, the due date for payment of Capital Gains Tax is normally 31 January following the tax year in which the disposal took place. It may be extended according to the date the tax return is issued. According to your circumstances, you may be able to claim Rollover Relief. This is something you really need to discuss with a qualified accountant as there are strict rules in place as regards qualifying assets. If you are eligible for Rollover Relief, then reinvestment must generally take place within the period from 12 months before to 3 years after the disposal of the old asset.
