Securities Tax System and Specific Accounts

I'd like to know about the average acquisition cost.

1. What is the Average Acquisition Price in a Specified Account?

The average acquisition price in a specified account refers to the average price of all shares purchased during the period leading up to the sale. It represents the average price per share and is the purchase price required for tax calculations.

2. How to Calculate the Average Acquisition Price in a Specified Account

The average acquisition price in a specified account is calculated using the following method:

1. Calculate the settlement amount (acquisition cost) each time a purchase is made and divide it by the number of shares held.

*However, for transactions made before the elimination of commissions, the calculation includes the commission in the acquisition price.

*If the same stock is purchased two or more times during the period leading up to the sale, the calculation is performed using a method similar to the "weighted average method."

2. If the same stock is bought and sold on the same day, the average acquisition price is calculated in the order of ① buy ② sell, regardless of the actual order of the transactions.

3. Calculations are rounded up to the nearest yen (decimal place).
