Hi,
I wish to sell some US shares. Please could you let me know if the CGT is 33%. I am not sure but I might have read somewhere that it is 40%.
Also, I have AIB and BOI shares bought before the banking crisis and are now worth €10 and €200 respectively. I would like to find out how to calculate the losses from a CGT perspective so as to be offset the losses against the gains made in the sale of the US shares mentioned above. I have not dug out the share certs yet but e.g. the current no. of AIB shares I hold is 4. I am sure the number of shares was higher that 4 when I paid €2000 for them. How do I calculate the loss in this scenario?
From a timeline we sold BOI first just to calculate the actual loss, then sold US shares whose gain would be equal, obviously before €1270 allowance .Just made it simpler .
Now thinking of putting gain into her AVCs as she couldn't max out last year due to extra care home costs, if her employer pension scheme allows it and before I tax for 2020 and prelim 2021
