Tax information – Capital Gains Tax (“CGT”)
For CGT purposes, the market value of ordinary shares on 31 March 1982 adjusted for all capital adjustments was 91.99 pence and B shares 10.941 pence.
Share capital consolidation
The original base cost of shares apportioned between ordinary shares of 284⁄7 pence and B shares is made by reference to the market value of each class of shares on the first day for which a market value is quoted after the new holding comes into existence. The market value for CGT purposes of any share or security quoted on the Stock Exchange Daily Official List is generally the lower of the two quotations on any day plus one quarter of the difference between the values.
On Monday, 19 July 2004 the values were determined as follows:
New ordinary shares 257.5 pence
B shares 35 pence
