Ok, I'm not swearing by saying Capital Gains Tax!  Help!!!!!  Does anyone know of any software I can use to calculate Capital Gains Tax?  I've looked on the Government Website and it looks really confusing and I'm dreading it.

 

This is just for share trading.

 

Many thanks.

Hi Caseynotes,

 

Thanks for your link, but it does not appear to take in account day trading  The problem I have is that I've been buying and selling shares and, I'm trying to understand the bed and breakfast rule.  What I'm after is a calculator where you can either download or type in all your transactions and it 'churns away' and provides the answers (within the HMRC guidelines).  

I've had a go at googling but have had no joy :( 

 

Thank you again though, I really appreciate your response.

@market1 , Another I noted from the list was the Which tax calculator site, it did mention specifically the bed and ISA scheme, I didn't look any deeper but it might be worth a look. Besides if we keep toing and froing on the forum some other bright spark might take notice and pitch in ?

Thank you - I'll have a look.  

I've  just facebooked the HRMC - and they can't help at the moment!.  Will keep on pestering them until they provide clear guidelines or, even better, an excel spreadsheet I can utilise.  How on earth the tax people expect me to work out the Capital Gains if their own website is not clear.  

 

Thank you again though.

Ha, they don't. I remember my dad filling out a self assessment tax form that was 2 sides of a single sheet of A4. I remember in the 80's accountants were having to go on special courses to figure out how to fill in the new 'self' assessment form. That's how the professionals keep a monopoly of services going.

I'll tell you what - if someone can work out the formula and can sell an app, they'd make a fortune lol! (with HMRC approval).  Wished I was brainy enough  :):):) 

I'm going to be a pain (I'm good at that!) and will keep on facebooking HMRC until they give up with me :).  

Mind you - :):) Hint, Hint to IG :):), they could provide a software package to IG members and then would get more clients (shame they don't provide this calculator, as I'd be so happy simply).

Hi @market1, we are currently working on creating tax statements for sharedealing accounts, which will be tested in the coming months.

 In the meantime, we can provide you with full ledger summary statements, including all dividends, profit/loss etc. We usually send those as .pdf files, however, if you wish to receive a .xlsm excel file you can calculate the overall figure, by marking all applicable numbers and looking at the "Sum" figure at the bottom right hand side of the page.

Hi Nadelina, 

Thank you for your input, it is much appreciated.  I did ask IG, via email, if they had a spreadsheet that calculated Capital Gains Tax  (CGT)for my share dealing throughout the year.  They informed me that they do not.  Fingers crossed that this response was incorrect.

With regards to the excel spreadsheet that you can provide, do you mean the Sum figure is actually the chargeable gain for CGT?  The problems I am encountering are the HMRC rules themselves  e.g  Bed and Breakfast rules - it's a total nightmare and actually puts me and my husband off trading.

Will IG look at partnering with portfolio software services, like sharesight ,simply wall st, etc etc etc. All trades are automatically linked across and tax reporting down and ease of portfolio management done.

    • WTI Elliott wave analysis  Function - Counter-trend  Mode - Corrective  Structure - Triple Zigzag  Position - Wave X of triple zigzag Direction - Wave X of the triple zigzag is still in play Details - We still count a double zigzag for wave X. Current rally should stay below 85.64 to confirm (b) before turning down for (c) around 79.23-76.90. Invalidation below 75.49 will make us consider an impulse from 87.63 instead. Overall, WTI still supports the medium-term bullish triple zigzag sequence provided 75.49 is not breached. Not changed from the last update. WTI crude oil prices are currently undergoing a retracement of the pullback initiated on April 12th. This pullback, in conjunction with the ongoing recovery, appears to be corrective rather than indicative of a substantial reversal. Looking ahead, there's a likelihood of witnessing another upward movement surpassing the high set on April 12th in the upcoming weeks. However, it's crucial to note that the bullish corrective sequence, initiated in December 2023, remains intact, awaiting a definitive break, potentially signaled by an impulse wave downward. Analyzing the long-term perspective, particularly on the daily chart, reveals a corrective price structure evolving from the high of 120.91 in March 2022. This corrective phase retraces the preceding impulse wave, which spanned from the tumultuous period of April 2020 to its culmination in March 2022 at 130.91. This corrective pattern is unfolding into a double zigzag formation, with the current phase representing the final leg, denoted as wave Y of primary degree. Considering the intermediate degree wave (B) from 67.81, it's imperative that the price does not breach 95 before initiating a downturn for the corresponding wave (C). Despite the potential completion of wave (B) at 87.63 with a double zigzag pattern, the subsequent decline appears corrective in nature, leaving room for the possibility of another upward rally, perhaps forming a triple zigzag wave (B). However, a decisive downward break from 87.63 would indicate the commencement of wave (C) with an impulse or leading diagonal pattern. Zooming in on the H4 chart, a double zigzag formation is taking shape from 87.63, expected to conclude within the range of 79.23 to 76.90 before the price reverses direction for wave Z of (B). This constitutes the first scenario. Alternatively, if wave (b) extends higher and surpasses 87.63, it would signify the completion of wave X, with wave Z poised to ascend further. The third scenario comes into play if the decline extends beyond 75.48, potentially signaling the completion of wave (B) at 87.63 and indicating a bearish outlook for wave (C). Monitoring these scenarios on the H4 charts will provide valuable insights into the unfolding price dynamics, guiding potential trading strategies in the volatile WTI crude oil market.   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!        
    • Why are your June No Lead Gasoline futures, with an expiry of 30-May, shown as "Closing only: contract due to expire" but your May No Lead Gasoline, expiring 29-Apr, shown as tradable? Your futures desk really ought to be on top of this, it makes it extremely difficult to trade futures when you only put the near term futures up to trade and then over-write with the next roll. It's not the first time I've seen this happen. Ideally, you should be showing at least the next 3 contracts.
