capital gains on sale of shares

[pumps]

I bought Lucent shares in 1999. As a result of scrip issue (on foot of Lucent) I received 2 other shares(agere and avaya). I now wish to sell Lucent at a loss of approx euro 8,500. In order to dispose of the other 2 small shares which are worth less than euro 20 I can transfer them to a charity account, thus saving dealing costs. Will this affect my capital gains loss on Lucent?

Any transfers of assets are considered disposals at market rate. Therefore any transfers to a charity need to be included in CGT computations.

I understood if I transferred shares to a charity there would be no dealing costs and hence no documentation for revenue purposes. The other option is to pay 50 euro to transfer to charity and get a sales document. As the shares are only worth ? 20 euro this would seem a false economy.
