Starting this year, I have bought some shares on the New York stock exchange through an online broker (to the value of around €15,000) . They have increased slightly in value. I am self-employed and I was wondering how to declare this income/investment when doing my tax return.

I see, TIL! Seems onerous!
So if the OP was not doing an annual tax return (they were PAYE for example), would they still have to make a declaration?
Is it common to do this declaration or is it something new(ish) that people may not be aware of yet? In 10 years of returns my accountant has always asked about gains/losses on shares but has never asked submitted a list of what was acquired in that year, despite having all my transactions. Should I go directly to jail and not pass go?
