Sold investments abroad - do I need to pay taxes?

I just sold some investments abroad and transferred the money to the UK to pay for the deposit on a house.

2 investments brought in capital gain of around 3.500 pounds and I did not tax for this in Sweden which I would I have had to do if I lived in Sweden.

The 3rd investment has been fully taxed in Sweden due to the type of investment it was and has brought me capital gains of around 4.500 pounds. Will I need to pay capital gains tax next year in the UK?

Thanks for any advice.

    We can't tell because:

    1. You havn't saif you are domiciled in the UK or not, ant
    2) We don't know what kind of investments these were, eg shares, mutual funds etc.

    1) I'm domiciled in the UK
    2) 1500 Capital Gain from Sales of Stock and the rest from mutual funds.

    I hope this helps.
