oops, missed the £12.5k allowances (tho used mine up bed & isa ing) & ability to knock off prior year losses (if submitted on a tax return - can go back 5 yrs if 1st tax return)
Basically anything not in a SIPP/ISA I would say needs to be sold before any massive dividend hits you (based on Boris not backdating CGT tax rises), this could lead you to miss out on better future offers - but tbh the garanteed extra tax is pretty huge on the dividend, so again my strategy will be dump any trading account shares prior to dividend - & maybe hold ISA/SIPP shares in hopes of better offers etc....
