Welcome to the automatic Capital Gains Tax Calculator. This tool helps you calculate the capital gains taxes on your share dealings based on UK tax rules. Simply upload a CSV file with your transaction details, and the calculator will apply the appropriate tax rules to compute your gains or losses.
Your CSV file must contain the following columns:
- Date: The date of the transaction (format: YYYY-MM-DD).
- Ticker: Ticker or unique name of the security.
- Shares: Number of shares traded. For sales, the number has to be negative.
- Price: Price per share.
- Costs: Associated costs (e.g., broker fees).
Example:
Date,Ticker,Shares,Price,Costs 2024-01-01,msft,buy,100,10.0,1.0 2024-01-02,msft,sell,50,12.0,0.0 ...
This calculator applies the following rules:
- Same-Day Rule: Matches sales with purchases made on the same day.
- Bed and Breakfasting Rule: Matches sales with re-purchases within 30 days after the sale.
- Section 104 Holding: For sales not matched by the above rules, uses the average cost of shares in the pool.
