Capital gains tax return help.

Hi, would anyone be able to help with filling in my self assessment tax return. I was lucky enough to receive money from the sale of a business I worked for which I'd been given shares in a few years previously.
I know how much I need to pay CG Tax on but I can't work out which boxes/section I need to put the figures in! None of the options seem to apply from a sale of shares, which I would have thought was a pretty standard scenario.
Can anyone offer any assistance please before I have to call HMRC and get even more confused?

Sale of shares, either listed or unlisted, in the CGT section. Have you read the guidance notes?

I’m having similar issues, my husband and I sold a house and the figures we have are for the total sale and can’t see where to put our individual shares as the house was owned 50:50

Hi, thank you for the reply. Yes I did or attempted to read the notes but confused myself even more. I'm not sure if they are listed or unlisted. My share is only a couple of thousand over my annual allowance and I should have a bill of less than £200 I'm just not sure where to input the figures.

Just put half of each figure on your tax return so if the proceeds were £100k you just put £50k on each.
