RE: Choices3 Feb 2021 14:11
Thanks for your feedback,,, due to the volume of shares, and the half year dividend, I have used up the £2k allowance and therefore the remaining amount is taxable at the tax rate that applies to you. For me, many of my shares came from previous profit sharing, SAYE etc for which the SP was higher, so the average SP for my holdings is higher than the current SP. As correctly pointed out by Pandy2, you do have a CGT which will help many people.
So, the question for many is do we expect the SP to stay static up until the 12th or to rise... this is what I am struggling to get my little brain to come to a conclusion on ( which will then help determine which of my choices I need to make ).
Is it in the interests of the institutions to buy more shares between now and the 12th?
