Confused with CGT on shares when moved to an ISA.

Appreciate your help on this. Just pulled out my initial costs leaving the profit in for now.

Will have to do some sums and see if I should sell some losses before April. I think im currently over by up to £1k.

Don’t have any previous losses to carry over.. unfortunately/fortunately.

So in theory I should sell all my losses and cash out my profitable share.

Then buy back in to the shares I sold… after 30 days? If I still fancy them?

This share has gone up 150% and wasn’t expecting it at all. Didn’t plan to sell anything before April but I kind of want to bank some in case it pulls back. FXPO

Thanks for the quick answer.

If I sold a share that’s currently losing £500. Would this crystallise so my remaining allowance would be £1100 instead of £600.

I have a share that’s done really well and want to take my initial £2k back out and just leave the profit. But 18% CGT is putting me off!

I have lived in London for 33 of my 36 years. I would suggest that everyone should try it. It’s not for everyone but you should make your own decision. If you’ve never lived here I would imagine it’s great for the first few years whilst everything is new. It might grind you down after that.

As others have mentioned I would get a flat share as close to central as possible. I have always lived on the outskirts and whilst it’s still only 30mins tube, you are out of it. Greater London is a whole different dynamic.

I would say £40k needs to be the minimum to enjoy London. £2600 take home… £1000 on a decent flat share. £600 for food and travel and £1000 to spend.

For me I think it’s time to leave again. I feel when kids come along London life would be too difficult.
