How to use this calculator
- Enter the buyback date, the consideration received, the cost of the shares and the holding period.
- Choose the shareholder category and the buyback date to match your situation.
- Read the taxable amount and the tax under the rules for the chosen date in the result.
The rules changed more than once; confirm the date of the buyback and the treatment in your own return.
The result is an estimate for the figures you enter. It is not a filed return, a certificate or professional advice. Rates, thresholds and section numbers change with each Finance Act, and the Income-tax Act, 2025 applies from 1 April 2026 with new section and form numbers.
