Share Save

Hi,

when receiving shares through a company Share Save Scheme, and completed the term, for CGT purposes, are you deemed to have received the shares at the start of the scheme or at the end of the period?

Also, most Share Save Schemes, give a discount, so, again, do you use the full price or the discounted price.

Thanks.

    I believe the answers are:

    1 The end of the period - ie the date when you exercise the option to buy the shares

    2 The price you pay - ie after any discount.

    Hi,

    thanks for the reply, suppose that makes sense, because at end of period there is still to option not to take shares and take the cash instead.

    Thanks.
