Have you lost money on amc?
If the special div was dividend not capital return when you eventually sell all amc you will have paid tax on a LOSS, (as part of this loss was special divi !!)
There was one knowledgeable poster who replied to me on this, ive got copies in my tax files somewhere, who said it was most definitely capital return, referring to different bank accounts et all, (far above my knowledge) Ill dig them out and post them if you wish.
IF an enquiry is raised the issue will be the large cost of a s[ecialist tax advisor accountant to discussit with the revenue, and the worry of a possible investigation over years to come. By then amc will be gone, presumably ii will close the board, and we will all have to get our tax advisors individually.
All this could have been avoided if amc had called it capital return not special dividend. (after advice)
However good amc investment is I will sell in this tax year if I am able so at least the whole amount returned is in one tax year.
I met RY on many occasions and invested on his personality and amazing drill results. It was confusing he never bought large amounts of shares with his own money. it was then disappointing to watch bad business decisions coupled with no news/delayed news, and his continued drawing of (HIGH) salary when the exploration stopped.
There are no fee no win companies after compensation re Woodford and Eros Media. I hope they don't see an opportunity here.
