You will be required to pay tax on any profit realized from the sale or disposal of an asset, including shares from a company.
Disposal of an asset encompasses:
- Selling
- Gifting to family or friends
- Swapping for another item
- Claims for compensation if the asset is lost or destroyed
Capital Gains Tax is applicable on total gains exceeding an annual tax-free threshold. Generally, no tax is due on gifts to your spouse, civil partner, or a charity.
