Capital Gains Tax is linked to the sale of a security. Share Data provides historic market prices for any date for all classes of security including:

• Equities
• Unit and Investment Trusts
• Qualifying Bonds

Such prices are required to establish acquisition values for the Capital Gains Tax process.

Our Capital Gains Tax service includes the compilation of the full transaction history of the individual shareholdings, encompassing all relevant capital changes.

We take into account the following events:

• Acquisitions
• Capitalisations
• Consolidations
• Return of capital
• Changes in par value
• Company name changes
• Listings & de-listings
• Mergers & de-mergers
• Rights issues
• DRIP
• Scrip issues

The record of the compulsory changes alone is not necessarily a reliable guide to how an individual holding may have developed. We also cross-check the registrar’s record against a reputable published capital history of the company in order to verify the true position.

Where de-mergers have occurred Share Data also provides Apportionment of Base Costs.
