""The last few dividends glen paid were tax free, as they were a return of capital
Not sure if this one is or not" It is definately a capital return as per RNS, so irrelevent for divi tax, but reduces base purchase cost for CG tax, if not in a tax wrapper."
Can I check I've got this right please. The 15 Feb preliminary results refer to a $0.26 per share "base distribution". Is that not taxed in the UK as a divi then? Instead, do we subtract it from the book value of the shares we purchased for cgt purposes (assuming not in a tax wrapper)?
Thanks a lot
