hi
yes
if you sell a share then unless you wait 30 days before buying it back (in whatever quantity) then you are not allowed to use the 'new' purchase price for your tax calculations
similarly in reverse if you seeking to establish a loss
if yu want to hold without waiting then buy back in your wife/girlfriend/son/daughter name
in which case you should 'squeeze' your broker as you selling and buying same quantity so spread should be marginal
