I was granted restricted stock in a US company when working for a UK subsidiary. This vested 5 years ago at which point tax was withheld in US but was shown on my P60/PAYE payslip as tax paid in UK on stock value. As I believe this stock was staff incentive scheme, I assume it is now free of CG tax if sold after 5 years. However I believe it will still be taxed on sale in US at 15% (I have W-8BEN tax treaty form in place to show I am UK resident paying the reduced figure) Q- how do I reclaim any tax deducted in US if over paid? How do I check if the staff stock scheme is recognised by HMRC and is in fact free of CG tax? Thanks
