Liable for CGT

in Cutting tax
Hi All,
As pat of the sale of a company I own shares in (and work for and will continue to work for) I am being asked to re-invest (essentially buy) shares in the new company as a condition of the sale (allbeit at a very good rate and something I'm happy to do). This is a private company and not listed.
I know I'm liable for CGT (after my allowances) but am I liable for CGT on the entire gains from the sale of the shares in the old company or the gains minus the re-investment amount?
I've never been in this situation before and never had to fill in a tax return in my life!
Thanks,
Andy

do the shares represent a controlling interest in the company or are they merely a minority interest?0
