Shares Cost?
- It is very important to calculate the cost of shares at time of shares disposal, because;
- A person purchased different number of shares at different dates and disposing the
shareholding at once from the acquired shares
- Matching Principle:
Total No. of shares Increase, Total cost Increases Total No. of shares Increase, No impact on cost

Transfer of Assets between Spouses or Civil Partners in Capital Gains
- Transfer of any asset between spouses or civil partners will be exempt from capital gains

Capital Loss
Step 1:
Current year CL on disposal of an asset Adjust against Capital gain in current year from disposal of
other assets
Step 2:
After the adjustment in step 1 above, if there is still capital loss remaining adjust against future
capital gains (first available income and maximum possible extent), however, loss should be restricted to
preserver “Annual Exemption (AE) of £12,300”.

Interaction of BADR with other Reliefs
On 10 January 2023, Delroy made a gift of 25,000 £1 ordinary shares in Dub Ltd, an unquoted trading
company, to his son, Grant. The market value of the shares on that date was £240,000. Delroy had
subscribed for the 25,000 shares in Dub Ltd at par on 1 July 2006. Delroy and Grant have elected to hold
over the gain as a gift of a business asset.
Grant sold the 25,000 shares in Dub Ltd on 18 March 2023 for £240,000. Dub Ltd has a share capital of
100,000 £1 ordinary shares. Delroy was the sales director of the company from its incorporation on 1
July 2006 until 10 January 2023. Grant has never been an employee or a director of Dub Ltd.
For the tax year 2022/23, Delroy and Grant are both higher rate taxpayers. They have each made
other disposals of assets during the tax year 2022/23, and therefore they have both already utilized
their annual exempt amount for this year.

Jointly Owned Assets
- From the income generating assets any income / capital gains always distributed equally
- Unless; there is an election for the proportion of the ownership of the asset.
Joint shareholding
- From legal aspect, there is no concept of joint shareholding
- Dividend is always based on actual shareholding
- A person can make an election, under which it is assumed that asset is sold today @ its M.V
(which is = NIL) & realizes a capital loss (not necessary – asset sold actually)
Assumption 1 Assumption 2
Deemed DP NIL
Cost NIL
Benefit of VNC:
- For NVC It is possible to carry the loss back upto 2 years, provided the asset
would be of Negligible Value that time.
47
Terminal Capital Loss (TCL)
- Capital loss arose in the fiscal year in which a person dies, would be treated as TCL
- For example, a person died in the FY 22/23 and he has capital loss in the same FY
- TCL would be adjusted by carrying back it against capital gains, upto 03 tax years on LIFO basis
(maximum possible extent)
- However, loss should be restricted to preserve Annual Exemption (like capital loss b/f)
- The refund from adjusting the TCL from previous year’s gains would be Taxable Receipt for IHT
purposes
unless an election is made; to make the gains exempt at disposal time of that small part
- The gain would be deferred be deducting the proceeds receive on part disposal from original
cost of asset
- The “base cost” of part retained is reduced & future gain on disposal would be higher.
a) Disposal less than 20% of the total current value (before disposal) AND
b) Total disposal of land in the year is less than £20,000
Example:
4 hectares of Land purchased for £40,000. After some time, 0.5 hectare sold for £12,000 when the MV
of whole land was £100,000.
48
Sale of Rights– NIL Paid
- Let say, I have 10,000 shares of a company, and today company announced a 1 for 4 Right Issue.
- Then, I am eligible to be entitled to receive 2500 shares (10000X1/4) at a less than MV.
&
S.P (Consideration Received) would be deducted from cost of share (base cost would be
reducedand future gain on disposal would be higher)
49
CGT Liability Payment Date at once pay @ 31 January after FY
If a person has gifted any of the above stated assets and if Gift Relief is Not Available on such gifts,
Then,
- Person can pay CGT liability in 10 Equal Annual Installments, starting on normal due date, then
annually thereafter.
- If the asset is disposed off by the giftee/transferee within 10 years, then all remaining
installments become immediately payable.
- If installment is late, then interest would charge @ 3.25% on all remaining installments.
A payment on account (POA) must now be made within 30 days where capital gains tax is payable in
respect ofa disposal of residentialproperty. A return must be submitted to HMRC at the same time.
Example:Mr. Zee, a High-Rate Taxpayer, disposed the following assets during the FY 22/23:
Payment on Account:
Residential Property Gain xxx
Capital loss on disposals – Prior to the disposal of R.P in same FY (xx)
b/f Capital Loss (xx)
Annual exempt amount (xx)
Net Residential Property Gains xxx
CGT @ 18% or 28% XXX
The calculation of the payment on account takes into account the annual exempt amount, any capital
losses incurred in the same taxyear prior to the disposal of the residential property, plus any brought
forward capital losses. Any other chargeable gains and capitallosses incurred subsequent to the disposal
of the residential property are ignored.
It is necessary to make an estimate as to how much of the taxpayer’s basic rate tax band will be
available for the tax year.
50
A payment on account of capital gains tax has nothing to do with the normal self-assessment payments
on account due on 31January in the tax year, and 31 July following the tax year.
The residential property gain is still included in the taxpayer’s self-assessment capital gains tax
computation following the end of thetax year, with the payment on account being deducted from the
total capital gains tax liability. Any additional tax is payable on 31January following the tax year. If a
repayment is due, then this will be claimed when the self-assessment tax return for the tax year
issubmitted.
