UK tax calculator for Interactive Broker. To help report UK tax for dividend and capital gain.
- Blazor WASM application ready to use.
https://alexpung.github.io/UK-Investment-tax-calculator/
- It is a web app so no installation required and secure.
- Support trades and dividends in foreign currency.
- Support shorting and forward split corporate action. (Reverse split I need sample)
- Implementation of TCGA92/S105 (1)(a): Multiple trades in the same day for the same Buy/Sell side is treated as a single trade. This affect same day/bread and breakfast calculation.
- Interactive Brokers Flex queries only for the moment.
User can also add trades manually using the "Add trades" page.
An example is included (see below). For other brokers I suggest copying the xml example and modifying it manually if you only have small number of trades. Or if you can code new parsers are welcome.
The system is designed to accomodate new parsers of different statement files convertiable to a string (or bytestream?).
Anyone interested can implement a new parser implementing ITaxEventFileParser.

- When a share forward or reverse split occurs it is assumed that the decimal shares will be lost (see StockSplit class). Other cases to be implemented as necessary.
- Share matching rules are implemented according to: https://rppaccounts.co.uk/taxation-of-shares/
- acquisitions on the same day as the disposal
- acquisitions within 30 days after the day of disposal (except where made by a non-resident). Disposals are identified first with securities acquired earlier within the 30-day period after disposal – the First In First Out basis (FIFO)
- any shares acquired before the date of disposal which are included in an expanded ‘s. 104 holding’
- if the above identification rules fail to exhaust the shares disposed of, they are to be identified with subsequent acquisitions beyond the 30-day period following the disposal.
Note point #4 when buying back shorted shares #1 (same day rule) and #2 (bed&breakfast) still applies.
