    Hi guys fairly new to the share world so have a quick question, if I buy 5k worth of shares and they rise in value considerably to say for an example 25k, if I sell 5k worth (my initial outlay) and keep the other 20k worth will I need to pay any tax on the 5k? Realistically I haven’t made a profit until I sell the other 20k worth right? Hopefully this isn’t a stupid question and thanks in advance to any replies.
    Cheers
