Capital gains tax question

@OP, as long as you do not exceed the 10.6K limit, and you keep records just in case; you do not have to formally report anything to HMRC (even if you do a tax return as you just fill in the total gain section). The onus is on you to report if you go over the limit.
Regarding the slightly more complex issue of perhaps buying shares in the same company at different times, then selling them, the link to HMRC website should help. It looks complicated, but in reality all you are doing is proportioning the shares with their cost appropriately. The link is:
