Hi,

I am in full time employment and fall in 40% tax bracket. If I deals in shares and Equity how much tax I would need to shell out on the profit or capital gain.

    none if you make no profit

    none if your realised profits less loses don't exceed 10,600 per year

    28% of the profit otherwise

    So a net profit of 10600 per year will have no tax and 28% anything more than that. That sounds reasonable.

    Thanks s lot Clapton

    I would be most pleased to pay tax on my capital gains but the opportunity rarely arises.


    And do remember you can use your ISA allowance to shield up to 11,280 of funds.
