I'm confused a little by what you are asking here too, this share is already ex-div as of 2/12 which means no matter what you do now you will get the dividend as the date of record should have been 3/12 or 6/12.
I may be wrong here but if, as it seems, your question is as simple as "when is the best time to rebuy in the new account?" the answer is on dividend payment day as the share price will reduce roughly by the dividend per share value, in this case 17.21p on 19/1 making that the optimum time to rebuy for a pure dividend capture play. This strategy doesn't account for any share price movement between now and payment day though so the net benefit is a total gamble that none of us can really specify the outcome of for you as the share price will do whatever it's gonna do no matter what we say or think about it.
I understand you may not be specifically talking about NG. but the same theory applies elsewhere. Ex-div day + 2 is usually the day of record and no matter what you do after that date you will recieve your dividend allocation for the shares you owned through that ex-div day + 2 period.
As far as minimising tax liability goes, I don't know enough about how what you are doing works in that sense to offer any useful help there I'm afraid.
Best of luck. :)
