income tax or capitol gains

Postby Gordon73 » Sun Jan 22, 2017 8:30 pm

Hi could you guide me on whether the below is a taxable income or capitol gains. My company awarded me some shares at a set price - at no cost to me and the actual value of the share was not a value I could sell. I did sell them eight years later and my company paid me the difference between the sale price and the original award price. Would I consider this income tax or capitol gains?
