moving abroad, cgt on shares owned

[joe sod]

Hi I am seriously thinking of moving my residency to the UK to avail of their much better capital gains tax, and capital allowances. My question is how are shares I already own now treated if i move to the UK in terms of Capital gains TAX. If i sell shares while resident in the UK even though I bought them while resident in Ireland, how is the capital gains tax treated?.

With the greatest of respect if you are thinking of changing your tax residence for tax purposes you should pay for professional advice specific to your assets and status in the foreign duristiction.

There are also ordinary residence and domicile to consider.
