If I both exercise EMI options and sell the resulting shares of a UK company after I move (and am tax-resident) abroad, would I still need to pay CGT on the gain? Or would it only be chargeable if I return within 5 years? Thanks, Steve

HI Steve,
Capital gains tax is not charged on the sale of shares for UK tax non-residents, as long as they remain non-resident for a period of at least five years.
Thank you.
