Divide, do not multiply

Sterling is the foreign amount divided by the rate in this table. Multiplying instead is wrong by the square of the rate, which on a typical dollar figure is more than half as much again.

HMRC do not prescribe which exchange rate you use. CG78310 expects a reasonable and consistent method. Where your broker gives the sterling amount you actually paid or received, we use it; otherwise we convert at HMRC's monthly rate for the month of each leg. What CG78310 does settle is the date: sterling worth is taken at the date of the acquisition or disposal (Bentley v Pike, Capcount Trading v Evans). This site never reads a rate from a market data feed.

Rates are shown exactly as published and are not rounded, because the calculator divides by the same figure. A currency with no name against it is one this server holds only by code.

Where this month came from

This month comes from HMRC's own XML archive, from the file HMRC name with underscores for this month. This is the file for January 2015:

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/softwaredevelopers/rates/exrates_monthly_0115.xml

The file carries a Period attribute and a rate is kept only when that attribute names the month asked for.

The collection that lists both is Exchange rates for customs and VAT on gov.uk. Nothing here is taken from a mirror. A rate comes from HMRC or it does not come at all.

Using this month on a return

Work out the tax from your broker CSV

Upload a broker export and every foreign trade in it is converted at the HMRC rate for its own month, with the month named in the report. The guide explains the matching rules that decide which cost a disposal takes.
