If I sell shares after holding them for 15 years any allowance for CGT?

I purchased shares in a UK Ftse company in 2004.

After 15 years these have finally moved in to profit. I sold and made about €6k.

When completing my tax return for 2018. Do I pay full CGT on the €6k profit for 2018 or does the fact that I held them for 15 years count in reducing my tax liability?

Thanks
 
There is the annual allowance of € 1,270 - you could have spread the sales overs 5 years - in which case assuming the price was the same (!) then the gain would habe been tax-free
 
You also can deduct incidental costs on acquisition and disposal e.g stamp duty/broker fees
