CGT Calculations

[dimaria]

I shall appreciate some help & guigance in calculating CGT on my BT & Cable & Wireless shares.

I bought BT & C&W shares on their privatisation . I received the dividend income for first 2 years thereafter I opted for Scrip Dividend instead of cash dividend.

So every year I received some additional BT & C&W shares twice a year as a result I had built up a substantial holdings.

In May of 2002 I sold the entire holdings in BT & C&W ( BT at £2.7578 and C&W at £2.026 )

What I want to know is how to calculate the total purchase price of both shares bearing in mind that BT was bought in stage payments on privatisation in 1986 and Scrip Dividends were allocated each Year at diffirent prices prevailing at the date of allocation.

Might have to dig deeper for C&W history.
