Say that in 1990 I bought 250 shares in x.y Company for £4.00 = £1000. Q1: Over the years, various splits and consoladations have reduced the number of shares to 200, but are now valued at £20 each = £4000. So the gain is 4000-1000 = £3000. Is it correct to say (and declare) that this is 3000/200 (£15) on the now number of shares OR 3000/250 (£12) on the initial shares? Q2: Over the years, various splits and consoladations have increased the number of shares to 500, but are now valued at £20 each = £10000. So the gain is 10000-1000 = £9000. Is it correct to say (and declare) that this is 9000/500 (£18) on the now number of shares or 9000/250 (£36) on the initial shares? =============== In other words, the gain to be taxed is the same, but what is the correct value to show in the calculation?
