RE: Capital gain and dividend reporting
Many thanks for this feedback. All clear. One follow up question: - Is there a minimum amount of dividend that does not need to be disclosed when I am filling Self Assessment? For example, If I recieved £60 of dividends in a tax year (which is safely within dividend tax allowance), do I need to include this amount in my Self Assessment? -

RE: Junior ISA
Thank you. Do I need to report cash transfer into Junior ISA account anywhere in my annual Self Assessment? -
Junior ISA
I'm planning to open Junior ISA for my son (10 years old) and transfer GBP 9000 into that account. Would this be considered a cash gift? Would there be any inheritance tax or any other tax implications for me or my son? -
RE: Capital gain calculation in foreign currency
I'm using FX rate on the day of the transaction (acquisition and then diaposal). I can't find daily HMRC FX rates for 2022, so that i could select FX rate for the relevant day. Could you send the link to daily HMRC FX rates? If not, can I use daily FX rates published on Bank of England website? -
Capital gain calculation in foreign currency
I'm calculating capital gain from the sale of listed shares trading in foreign currency. For the purposes of capital gain calculation I understand that I need to convert sale proceeds into GBP at the exchange rate precisely on the date of disposal. Can I use exchange rates published on Bank of England website for this

RE: Capital gain calculations
Could pls revert on this? Let's use the same example: I bought shares trading in CHF for GBP 90 equivalent. I then sell the shares for CHF 110. Let's say BoE FX rate on the date of the sale was 1.1, so I use that FX rate to calculate capital gain from the sale of the shares: 110/1.1 minus 100 = GBP 10 capital gain. Then, 3 weeks later FX spot rate changed. I convert sale proceeds into GBP at 1.2 GBP/CHF FX rate. At this FX rate i made capital loss relative to the BoE FX rate I used in the calculations for capital gain from sale of shares: 110/1.2 minus 100 = - CHF 8.3 capital loss on FX conversion. Can I use capital loss I made on FX conversion to reduce / off-set capital gain from the sale of the shares? Would your answer change if instead of a capital loss on FX, it was an implied capital gain from FX conversion (i.e. when actual conversion into GBP is done at a better rate)? Would appreciate if you could give a concrete answer to this specific example. -
RE: Capital gain calculations
If I understood correctly, the FX rate needs to be as of the date of the sale, right (the link that you suggeated doesn't unfortunately)? Do I then need to separately calculate capital gain or loss from FX conversion of CHF proceeds into GBP that I made 3 weeks later? -
RE: Capital gain calculations
Pls revert on this question. Let's take a numerical example: I bought shares trading in CHF for GBP 90 equivalent. I then sell the shares for CHF 110. Then, 3 weeks later, I convert these proceeds into GBP at 1.1 GBP/CHF FX rate, thereby resulting in GBP 100. Can I use this FX rate in my capital gain calculations (even though there was a 3 week delay in conversion of proceeds into GBP)? I know that HMRC publishes monthly exchange rates that can be used, but it would make more sense to use the actual conversion rate. Let me know your thoughts -
Overseas cash transfer
Do I understand correctly that there is no tax charged for simply transferring cash from my overseas cash account into my bank account in the UK?
