* In this example the original base cost is £15,000.
** The amount paid is at your suggestion. In this example it is
equivalent to the donor’s original cost. The donor may request an
amount higher than their original cost if they are looking to
offset any personal capital losses. Please note that HMRC does not permit any capital loss created by a share gift to be offset against other personal capital gains.

HMRC Qualifying Shares
A wide range of shares and securities can be gifted in this way.
These include those listed or dealt on a recognised stock exchange
in the UK and many international exchanges: the USA, Canada,
Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Japan, Colombo, Singapore,
Johannesburg, Switzerland and the EU countries. We will be happy to advise you before you make your gift whether or not the shares are listed on a recognised stock exchange.
There are other investments that also qualify,
including authorised unit trusts, UK open-ended investment company
shares and certain foreign collective investment scheme
holdings. We recommend that you seek confirmation from HMRC that your investment qualifies for Income Tax relief.
Tax Advice
We are unable to offer advice on personal tax
issues. So if you are unsure of your tax situation, we recommend
that you speak to a professional advisor or visit the HMRC website
