Moving stocks from foreign broker to UK

Hope you are well ! I am currently not an UK resident and have some stock shares in an oversea broker. If I transfer the stocks to UK after I become an UK resident, and sell them subsequently; would the selling of stocks be taxed for capital gains? If so, is the taxable amount equal to selling price minus the price I bought them in the foreign broker? Thank you!

Hi benny ko,
Yes they would be liable to Capital Gains Tax on the difference in price bought for and sold for.
Thank you. 

Hello,  I'm having a similar situation as I move my stock to the UK. I vested this stock 2-3 years ago when I wasn't a UK resident. If I am going to be selling that stock in the future while I am a UK resident, will the share base value for my calculation of the capital gain tax be the stock price when I got awarded the stocks from my company, the vesting dates (when they are transferred to my custody), or when I became a UK resident? I got an advice that the base value is going to be the value of the shares when I become a UK resident. Many thanks

Hi volavoka,
As you did not sell the shares immediately upon vesting, you may be liabile to pay Capital Gains Tax on the disposal of shares.
The gains will be based on the disposal value minus the acquisition cost, which would be the value of the share when your employer awarded the share to you.
Please have a look at the guidance here:

In relation to capital gains.
Thank you. 

Hi team, Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it! Kind regards
