  • Are Share Dividends subject to Capital Gains Tax?

    Hi, I have to Self Assess due to having received Share Dividends in the past. However I informed you last year, that I disposed of my shares into an Employee Owned Trust (EOT), so have tried to apply to no longer Self Assess, today. To do this I have to answer a question about why I was Self Assessing in the first place and think it was because I was paying Capital Gains Tax, but to be sure I searched on "Share Dividends" and "Capital Gains" and it appears that "tax on dividends" might be different to "capital gains". Would you please inform me whether I should be ticking the Capital Gains box or something else. Thanks in advance for your help, Martin
