Trader option
You can buy or sell shares up to the value of £25,000 for a flat dealing commission of £7.50. Deals over this size are charged at an additional £7.50 per £25,000 of value. The Trader option costs just £20 + VAT each quarter in advance, no matter how many accounts you've got.
Examples
Standard tariff:
Your dealing charges will be related directly to the amount you invest, or the proceeds of a sale, as shown below. When you choose batch dealing, purchases start from £2.50 and sales from £7.50, and realtime sales and purchases online start from £7.50.
Let's say you want to buy some shares in ABC plc. The shares can be bought for 100p each, and you want to invest £500, inclusive of dealing charges and stamp duty.
Stamp duty is 0.5% of the purchase value and dealing commission on the standard tariff is 1%, minimum £2.50.
| Cost of shares | £492.00 | (492 shares at 100p each) |
| Stamp duty | £2.46 | (£492 x 0.5%) |
| Commission | £4.92 | (£492 x 1.0%) |
| Total Cost | £499.38 | |
Trader option:
Let's say you want to buy some shares in XYZ plc. The shares can be bought for 100p each, and you want to invest £5,000 inclusive of dealing charges and stamp duty.
Stamp duty is 0.5% of the purchase value and dealing commission is £7.50 fixed.
| Cost of shares | £4,967.00 | (4967 shares at 100p each) |
| Stamp duty | £24.84 | (£4967 x 0.5%) |
| Commission | £7.50 | |
| Total Cost | £4,999.34 | |
Had you bought these shares under the standard tariff, dealing commission would have been £49.25 and you'd only have bought 4,925 shares. So even if this was your only transaction in that quarter, your £20.00 fee (+ VAT) would still have saved you £18.25.
