I inherited AIM shares which had nil value for IHT. How do I work out capital gains and losses - do I use nil value? Thanks

Hi
Any gain / loss is the disposal value of the inherited share minus the market value of the shares at the time of inheritance, including your disposal costs.  Where a gain exceeds the annual exempt amount (currently £6000) a capital gain arises and is either taxed at the lower rate (10%), higher rate (20%) or a combination of both.
