Do I need to pay CGT on shares?
The quickest way to determine if you need to pay CGT on your shares is to see if your shares have made money over the time since you bought them. If you are selling shares at a price below what you paid for them, you have made a loss and you do not need to worry about capital gains tax. If the price of your shares has risen since buying and you are now selling; you will have to pay CGT.
