Tax adviser for overseas property sale

[bcontractor]

When you say bare ownership what do you mean exactly.

The property is in the Italy.

My understanding is - bare ownership aside - that, as UK tax resident, you pay capital gains on gains coming from the sale of overseas properties.

There would be no liability in Italy, as the property was purchased over 5 years ago.

If it's a US property I know an excellent expert. Liz Zitzow https://www.britishamericantax.com/ I have worked with her on brokerage stuff in the past. Really knows her stuff.
If it's an EU property I would advise an account local to the property. They are generally better versed and know quite a bit about UK ways too.
A contractor accountant in this country won't be of any use but a good local practice might know what they are doing.

Going to an accountant that specialises in this will be very expensive

but cheaper than getting it wrong...

When you say bare ownership what do you mean exactly. As a Uk tax resident you will need to understand the country of the property tax law on cgt

and then understand the double tax treaty. Going to an accountant that specialises in this will be very expensive

It might be a long shot, but I could anyone recommend a tax adviser who'd be able to advise on CG for the sale an overseas property with the added complexity of bare ownership.

I am not sure if I'd trust my (old, contractor) accountant. I have a few names I've found on the internet, but I thought I'd ask here too.
