When calculating chargeable gain on share pool for a company (involving rights issues, etc), I find it easier to deduct the indexation allowance (multiplied by the proportion of shares disposed of) at the end, instead of using the standard 3 column method which keeps a 'rolling' indexed value of all the shares. Will I be penalised for using this method?

yes you will - do it the proper way, do not try and short cut.
Thank you for taking the time to reply - I will spend a couple of hours learning the proper methodology.
I hope it will not take that long for all we are doing is to compute indexation allowance every time shares are purchased (not on a bonus issue) and when shares are sold.
