    Hi tanyamarie
    I am studying personal tax for 2012/13, but i will try and answer this one.
    I would have put
    2000 8000
    100 0
    2100 8000
    800 4800 (matching rules)
    2900 12800

    proceeds 1200x10=12000
    less 1200x6=7200

    Gain 4800

    Thanks. I see where I have gone wrong at the beginning. Where you have put 4800. Would this not be 8000x 800 divided by 2100 = 3048 ? Sorry if I have confused things.

    no you simply have bought 800 more than you have sold at £6 which =4800
