Can anyone advise what is the best for a normal tax payer to receive the new B shares. I will be receiving about 6000 B shares and don't really know the best way to go. Should I take them all as income in the one go ( and what is the tax I would have to pay) or have them repurchased and treat as capital over a number of years( and again is there any tax liabilities)?. Seems too complicated for me to work out!!
Secondly my Father-in-law, now retired, will be receiving about 5000 B shares what is the best way for him to go??.
Any help will be most appreciated.
