  • CGT on sale of shares from a US ESPP

    My husband works for the US company Labcorp Holdings Inc and has joined the Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP). He has completed a W8-BEN form and I believe that the scheme withholds when shares are purchased every six months. Please can you confirm that the only additional tax to pay would be potential CGT when the shares are sold (is over £3k profit) providing they are a qualifying disposal. Thanks
