Hi, I would like to report my captial gains from overseas stock shares. When preparing the computation worksheet, I need HMRC monthly exchange rate in order to calculate the gain / loss amount in GBP for tax return. From GOV.UK website, HMRC monthly exchange rate for publication only starts from 2012 onwards. In my case, some acquisition dates for overseas stock shares are in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. As such, may I ask where I can find these most previous years' exchange rate informaton so as to calculate gain / loss amount for self assessment tax return. In case these information are not available in UK government website, could you advise me on other calculation method(s) for such reporting to HMRC? Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Please refer to:

Foreign exchange rates and spot rates: 1 January 1989 to 31 March 2009

You will then need to select the forward arrow in the red box at the top to move on to later years.

Thank you.
