    I've 2 batches of shares maturing soon but can sell one batch now and the other batch in January 2016. If I do this then will I be able to claim the CGT exemption of €1,270 on each?

    Yes, assuming you have not used the €1270 anywhere else, if you are married you can use your partners allowance too.

    For the gains you make. Not the price.

    Are you sure about that the annual exemption can be transferred between spouses? I do not believe it can be.

    Thanks.

    You're correct, gift to wife to bypass maybe (no gain no loss), no CAT. Use 1270 exemption that way.

    Am I right in saying then that I can sell all my shares now, take €1,270 for myself and gift the rest to my wife (threshold is €15,075) in any calendar year? I'm looking here for this info.
