It would depend upon how much value was involved. Capital gains tax is payable on the difference in value of an asset from the time it is acquired until the time it is disposed of. Unless you inherited works of arts, say paintings, upon which you had seen a significant rise in value running into millions, it is unlikely that the taxman would have any interest. And, it would depend upon your nationality and where you were resident. For example CGT can be avoided in the U.K. if you are non-resident at the time of the disposal of the asset and remain so for two years. after the disposal.
