Selling shares gifted

If my parents send company shares to me as a gift before I become a UK resident, and after I become a tax resident, I plan to sell it. Will the sales proceeds be subject to capital gains taxes?

Hi belgiumqq,
Yes, provided you make a gain when you dispose of them.
Thank you.

Thanks. With regards to the gain/loss calculation, which price should be the acquisition price? On the date when the shares were gifted (before I becoming a tax resident) or on the date of the start of the financial year when I become a tax resident? Some of the shares are issued by non-UK territories. How would the exchange rate be determined when calculating the gain/loss? Calculate the gain/loss (in foreign currencies) then have the result converted into GBP, or have the sold price (in GBP) minus the acquisition price (in GBP)?

Hi
The purchase price would be what the original person paid for them.
