What exchange rates are used when buying and...

Didn't find your answer?

Hi,

I have a section 104 holding of shares in my US traded employer, built up over several years. I have multiple purchases and sales on different dates and at different exchange rates.

For the purposes of calculating CGT gains/loses what exchange rates do I use?

Can I use the HMRC exchange rates here? http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20141006110005/http://customs....

Thanks!

They also pointed to their own spot rates here - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/exchange-rates-for-customs-an...

OANDA is also a good website for historical exchange rates
