Capital gains tax on company shares

[MConnolly]

Hello, I received shares as a benefit for the company I worked for a number of years back, the shares have since split on 2 occasions. Is the capital gain calculated at the share price level or for the total value of the shares? Thanks

CGT usually applies when you dispose of the shares. Are you selling the shares?



There may also be tax due to the receipt of the shares from your employer.
