I joined a large US-owned but London-based company in 2008. Over that time I was awarded several tranches of shares in the company, which I kept after being made redundant 5 years later. I recently sold them via an online account with Morgan Stanley.
If the scheme was an Approved Share Incentive Plan (SIP) then I think I don't have to pay any CGT. But how do I tell?

EDIT: I've just remembered that the shares were referred to as RSUs. So maybe this is relevant instead:

US shares though (and I had an up to date W8-BEN when I sold them)... Hm.
