CGT and USA based employee share schemes

Hello, can you please inform whether UK CGT is payable on gains over £6000 from the sale of employee shares received as part of annual remuneration from a US based company. PAYE has already been paid on the UK value of the shares when they were issued. The shares are held in US dollars value. thanks

Hi neilpow,
It can depend on the type of share scheme and when sold, please refer to Tax and Employee Share Schemes
Thank you.
