When you sell shares, you may have to pay capital gains tax ("CGT") on part of any profit you make. CGT is calculated on all gains made during a tax year (starting on 6 April) and there is no liability to pay CGT if the total of all gains is less than the annual exemption for that year. Please contact your local Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) office.
If you make a loss on disposing of a particular type of asset during a tax year this can reduce the amount of CGT you have to pay on sales of other assets during that tax year.
The following information is available to assist Diageo shareholders in calculating UK CGT.
