I'm looking to convert my primary residence into a buy-to-let. What capital gains tax (CGT) implications should I be aware of when I eventually sell, especially regarding Principal Private Residence (PPR) relief and how it impacts my taxable gain?

Quick Answer

When converting your home to a buy-to-let, PPR relief covers the time you lived there plus the last nine months. The remaining gain is taxable at 18% or 24% CGT, after accounting for your annual exempt amount.
