    The dividend income will have to be declared on your tax return. There will be no further liability for basic rate income tax but you there will be for higher rate tax if it takes you into or you are already in that band.

    CGT is the other issue, as you are aware.

    You only pay capital gains when you sell shares and only then after the first £7,900 (current tax year`s allowance) PROFIT in any tax year.
