Then How do I reconcile the answer you gave to samuelkfp2000 that the income from HSBC should be declared as UK dividends with your earlier response (https://community.hmrc.gov.uk/customerforums/sa/992c8a7c-d36b-ef11-a4e5-6045bd0aeff2) which states HSBC dividends are Foreign Income? Are Shares in a UK listed company being traded on an overseas registry reportable as Foreign or UK income?

You are requesting date of acquisition for Shares sold. However the shares are now "pooled" for calculating the gain. What date should be declared when the purchase activity spans a period of forty years?

How do I reconcile this answer with your earlier response (https://community.hmrc.gov.uk/customerforums/sa/992c8a7c-d36b-ef11-a4e5-6045bd0aeff2) which states HSBCdividends are Foreign Income? The shares in HSBC are shares in a UK Listed company which has its primary share listing in the UK and a secondary listing in Hong Kong. samuelkfp2000 is wrong, in his second para, to state his shares are in a HK Listed Company as whilst HSBC has a subsidiary incorporated in HK the shares traded on the HK Stock Market are the secondary listing for the Holdings Company based in the UK. So HSBC shares are from a UK Listed Company. Shares traded on the UK registry are obviously generating UK dividends but are shares traded in Hong Kong generating UK or Foreign dividends for reporting purposes. Secondly, if applicable, Shares in HSBC on the HK registry "normally" pay dividends to holders in HKD but the dividend is the equivalent of the USD dividend that is announced by the UK Listed Company at a rate fixed approx one week before payment date. Do you expect the dividend to be declared at the GBP dividend rate payable to UK shareholders or the HKD amount converted to GBP on the payment date - bearing in mind that exchange rate fluctuations could cause the HKD equivalent converted to GBP could be less than the GBP declared amount that UK shareholders will report.
