Transferring paper shares to a nominee account

I want to transfer paper certificate shares to a nominee account. Do I become liable for CGT when I transfer them?

Hi,

If you are selling them or gifting them, yes, you will be liable to Capital Gains Tax.

Thank you.

Thank you. I will, however, be neither selling them or gifting them but rather transferring the paper certificates to be held on my behalf by a company in digital form on my behalf. I can't discover whether this transaction is itself liable to CGT.

Hi Ross,
As the asset is not being disposed of and will remain in your posession, there is not capital gain from this transfer.
Thank you. 

Thank you!

Hi, If I sell the paper shares and then immediately buy back the shares within the nominee account does CGT apply, How does the 31 day window between selling and buying back the sames shares affect the transaction
