Shares Acquired by Share Scheme Advice

[helinlouise]

Hi,

I was previously employed by a company between 2008-2012 and acquired some shares via SAYE scheme, SIP's and I also exercised an option.

A few years later I moved all the shares from paper certificates into an online account and sold some of them, but this was under the CGT personal allowance and so no tax risk.

I still have the shares in an online account but as I am an additional rate tax payer and the CGT allowances are significantly reducing, I am now looking at my tax affairs to try and minimise exposure.

I'm not sure if I am asking the right question but are there any schemes where I can transfer the shares and shelter them against CGT as much as possible? If not, could I have a little help with some options that I can then go away and research? I am trying to avoid doing anything hasty and regretting it!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Helen

HI

Firstly you may be able to transfer some of the shares into your spouses name so they can use the tax free CGT allowance. We have just missed 5th April on this but this years tax free exemptions are available
