How do I enter multiple share trading transactions I have from a broker?

Unfortunately, TaxCalc cannot deal with transactions where you have purchased shares at different prices at different times (including the 30 days, bed and breakfast etc.) also known as Section 104 holding. When entering the information relating to Capital Gains Tax, there are 2 approaches you can opt to take which are listed below. If you need further information on the Section 104 Holding and how to deal with these transactions then please see the HMRC web page​ HS284 Shares and Capital Gains Tax.

If you do not have a PDF document to attach and need to enter this within TaxCalc, you will need to complete the below steps:

1. Firstly, you need to breakdown the information provided by your broker between shares disposed at a loss and a gain. These will need to be entered between 2 details.
2. Browse to Capital Gains Tax > Asset Details
3. Select Listed shares or securities from the drop down menu
4. Enter an applicable description
5. Leave the acquisition date blank
6. Enter the Initial cost
7. Enter the Disposal date as the last date of the year (05/04)
8. Enter the Disposal proceeds to generate your loss total.
9. Click on Further disposal
10. Add another disposal
11. Complete steps 3-8 to generate your gain total.
12. Go to Other CGT information
13. Click on Click here
14. Enter a manual text note explaining the processes you have taken.

For Example:

The information on the Capital Gain pages consists of 25 share disposals, 15 at a gain and 10 at a loss which gives an overall gain for assessment. Below consists of the information given by the broker. 

15.  This will then populate the capital gains tax pages with the information you have and provide HMRC with the explanation as to what has happened throughout the tax year.
