I am 45 and have about £7,000 in BAE shares that I have held since I was a child. I have no idea who bought them for me or when. How do I work out the actual gain made? Or should I sell all of the shares and pay 10% tax on the whole amount above the CGT exemption?
I'm 45 and was given shares as a child that are now worth £7,000: How on earth do I work out capital gains tax if I sell?
