  • Is your business buying and selling shares?
    Thinking critically since 1996....
  • This years capital gains tax allowance is £10,600. So in normal circumstances you wouldn't be liable to pay tax on share profit of £100 if thats your only CG.

    hence the earlier question as to whether your business is share dealing
