To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what guidance HMRC has issued on claiming private residence capital gains tax exemption.

HMRC has published information on capital gains tax private residence relief in their self-assessment helpsheets HS283 “Private Residence Relief” and HS281 “Capital Gains Tax, civil partners and spouses”; and their capital gains manual at page CG64200 onwards. These are available on the GOV.UK website.
