Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) - UK Capital Gains tax?

Financial Chat

Hello,

I’ve woogled a bit but can’t seem to find anything definitive, often advice says seek financial advisor etc

I’ve got some shares from an ESPP that have increased in value since I bought them (must be about 10 years plus ago)

If I were to sell all the shares do I have to calculate how much the gain is and work out how much I owe HMRC ? (Taking into account the Capital Gains tax allowance?) Can I just ask HMRC ? Or should I find a financial advisor?

Thanks.

Yes. For the best results given your personal financial circumstances - a reputable Financial Advisor can help.

Not only that, it is actually (AIUI) illegal to give financial advice without being qualified. The following therefore, is not financial advice, but a link to a part of the UK government website that may contain relevant resources that you can have to a look to see if they help you with making your own decision:
