I have brought and sold shares in the one company over the last year for varying amounts. To calculate my cost base (to work out my capital gain/loss) am I able to use my average buy price or do I have to nominate exactly which shares I sold? As I am carrying forward a capital loss from previous years should I nominate the shares I sold that give me the largest profit or should I nominate those that give the smallest profit first? And offset any profit made against my capital loss. I prefer to do my Tax myself and I know any advise offered will be general in nature. Thanks

It is your choice to nominate WHICH parcel you sell, in whole or in part.
