  • Selling Shares as a non UK tax resident

    I have had shares (both paper and electronic) issued by a previous employer ("bonus", so never paid for them) a number of years ago. I am no longer a UK tax resident (living the the EU now). I want to sell the shares or transfer them to a family member (UK resident). What I wanted to understand what tax I would need to consider, either with a sale or with a transfer. If I sell them, how do I calculate capital gain? I dont know when exactly I was given them. What would be a gain as they were issued as a bonus? Any info / links / reading would be much appreciated.
