    Yeah did my head in to begin with ,wait till you buy shares in bundles at different prices .

    The way I do it when I submit my returns to the accountant .

    I bought 100 shares at 1.00
    The shares increased to 2.00
    To reduce my exposure I sell 50 at 2.00.
    I have made a profit of 50 bucks on those shares . I have have made a capital gain of 50
    I then declare that 50 on my tax return . Less any applicable fees etc

    When I sell the other 50 I then do the same .
