If someone receives a deposit for a sale of a field in the 18/19 tax year but the rest of the money isn't received until the 19/20 tax year, does the deposit get entered on the tax return for 18/19, the deposit is less than the capital gains allowance? I was thinking the answer is yes but wanted to clarify

    The timing of the gain isn't determined by the timing of the cash flows. What you need to know is the date when ownership of the asset changes hands.
