Hi,

As the shares and stocks page of moneysavingexpert is currently out of date, has anyone got good advise on which broker to choose?

I did a search on moneysupermarket and a few names were fired up: Jarvis, Guardian, Hoodness Brennen, SimplyStockbriking, Interactive invester etc.

I am looking at making one lump sum investment so I think no management fees, no inactivity fees and obviously reliable service is preferable.

Also how do I go about making sure perks go to share holders? (perks mean for example special deal on shares etc for existing share-holder, right? I am new to the market.)

Many thanks!

sabretoothtigger

jarvis or iii might be best, i think they both would give you rights issue etc

I want to buy some shares for the first time (only a small amount), but am in a debt managament plan so have black marks on my credit file. Many of the share dealers seem to do a credit check (for money laundering purposes), are there any that don't?
I need to sort this quick so I can buy the shares before some news is announced next week!!!

Thanks

sabretoothtigger

Tell me the news and I'll let you know :laugh:

I have some shares invested in various companies. I am just interested in finding out how much of my profit I would have to pay in tax when I do sell them?

I am dealing my own shares and do not have a broker. The shares are not in a share isa.

So for the sake of argument, say I invested £2000 in company a, and after a year they went up to £3500. I now want to sell them, how much of that £3500 would I pay in taxes, bearing in mind its not a share isa?

And on the flip side if it was a share isa, what would I pay in taxes then?

then, what if the shares went from £2000 down to £1000, would I still have to pay taxes?

Thanks,
Peter

You have a capital gains tax allowance of £10100 for 2010/2011; which means you can earn profits of £10100 over the amount you invested. You can also offset any losses against any profits realised in a tax year, i.e. you invest £10k in Share A and Share B, you sell both, Share A makes you £15k profit, Share B £5k loss, overall net profit £10k therefore no CGT liability

There used to be tapered tax relief on some investments after holding them for a number of years, although I'm not sure if that has been abolished.

Another option which might be available to you, if you are married, is to gift some of your shares to your wife and use her CGT allowance as well before paying tax. Additionally if you are a higher rate tax payer and your wife a lower rate payer then use up your CGT allowance and gift any remaining shares to her. If CGT is liable the same calcualtions will apply, i.e. they will use the date you bought the stocks not when you transferred them to your wife but she would pay less tax.

Regarding tax and ISA's..... There is no additional tax to pay (income or CGT) on shares held and sold within an ISA. Everyone pays basic rate of tax on any dividends etc but higher rate payers do not incur any additional income tax and there isn't any CGT to concern yourself with.

This is one reason I invest via my S&S ISA, it just makes my tax return a whole lot easier.
