CG1 - Specific question on Aggregate Consideration when shorting stock/options

borderfox11 · 2023-01-23 09:28:26

Apologies if this has been covered already but could not find an answer really I understand that if you bought 100 shares of XYZ in 2022 at €50, then sold them for €75, the aggregate consideration figure is €7500 likewise if you sold them at a loss, for €25 then the AC figure is €2500 how does it work if you were shorting…

I understand that if you bought 100 shares of XYZ in 2022 at €50, then sold them for €75, the aggregate consideration figure is €7500
likewise if you sold them at a loss, for €25 then the AC figure is €2500
how does it work if you were shorting 100 shares of XYZ, e.g shorted at €100, covered at €75.....gain is €2500 but what is the figure for AC in this case, is it €10000 or €7500??
thank you
