Hi,

As the shares are jointly owned, they both need to calculate their capital gains liability separately.  Gains should be reported using the realtime capital gains service at:

Report and pay your Capital Gains Tax

or on a self assessment tax return if they do not use the service before 31 December after the tax year has ended.  Capital gains tax need only be reported in a self assessment tax return, if the following two statements are both 'true'.  1 - Do you need to complete a self assessment tax return for any other reason? and 2 - have you disposed of assets with a value over £50000.

Thank you.

If they disposed of £99999 and made gains of £11999 then separately their disposal would be calculated at under £50k and under the £6k gain allowance so that would mean that they would not need to report anything. Is that correct?
