Cash offer CGT

Mar 02, 2008 1 Replies

I have 10,000 shares in Company A which is being taken over by Company B. I am being offered two pounds for each of my Company A shares as well as a reduced number of shares in Company B. How do I work out my capital gains tax liability? Do I subtract the price I paid for the shares from the cash offer price or from the current market price? Thanks in advance.


Why would you sell the shares if the offer is less than the market price?

Why would they buy the shares at more than the market price?
