classes of ordinary share – ‘T’ shares and ‘D’ shares, each with differing rights. Graeme received two ‘T’ and three
‘D’ shares for each original Thistle Dubh Limited share held. The market values for the ‘T’ shares and the ‘D’

G.raeme and Catherine have owned a holiday cottage in a remote part of the UK for many years. In recent years, they
have used the property infrequently, as they have taken their holidays abroad and the cottage has been let out as
furnished holiday accommodation.
G.raeme and Catherine are now considering selling the UK country cottage and purchasing a holiday villa abroad.
Initially they plan to let this villa out on a furnished basis, but following their anticipated retirement, would expect to
occupy the property for a significant part of the year themselves, possibly moving to live in the villa permanently.
Required:(a) Calculate the total chargeable gains arising on Graeme’s disposals of ‘T’ and ‘D’ ordinary shares in May and
October 2005 respectively. (7 marks)
