    May I know the manual or guideline I can look for the details and the tax reporting guidance for automated reinvested dividend as well as the capital gains tax on those mutual funds with automated reinvested dividend. Thanks
  • RE: Capital Gains when Dividends are automatically Reinvested

    I have invested in some mutual funds with Interactive Brokers account and the monthly dividends distributed were automatically reinvested to purchase additional unit. I have no option to choose receiving in cash. My questions are : - for these automatic reinvested dividend, I DO NOT need to declare as dividend income - Upon disposal, the Gain will be the Disposal Proceed minus the initial cost of investment (excluding reinvested dividend amount) and incidental costs, am I correct - In last year, I have reported these automatic reinvested dividend as dividend income and paid tax on them. Is it OK if I start NOT declare the dividend from this years onwards? - Or do I have to write to HMRC for correction of past year?
