Hey guys,

Would you know who would the owner of the stocks for CGT purposes if let's say I buy stocks for someone through my online broker account?:

My friend and myself want to buy stocks - the money is deposited into my Davy account , one purchase is made. Who would have to make CG declaration? I understand that personal exemption would work better if each of us declare CG return separately, but is there an issue that account is held only on my name?

Thank You
