Tax on foreign shares dividends

Options
Hi,

I am part of a Employee Shares Purchase scheme at work. The company is American and I am a UK citizen. What is the requirements for tax for receiving dividends (about $50 worth) and for the shares? Do I need to fill in the Self Assessment?

The tax website is not clear - I think that as an employee paying PAYE tax that the £2500 untaxed limit means I don't need to fill in Self Assessment?

Thanks in advance,

D
