Capital gains tax calculation on accumulation OEIC

[QCG1]

I may need to sell some units of the Vanguard FTSE All share OEIC (VVFUSI) I hold outside of a tax shelter. (The units are not in an ISA or pension.) I hold accumulation units bought in September 2014.

How can I check if I have a capital gains tax liability? I think my gross profit (including rolled up dividends) will be more than £6000.

Many thanks

Your base cost will be what you paid for the units minus any equalisation payment you received plus all of the accumulated dividends you notionally received (but didn't). You do have all the consolidated tax certificates issued by your broker, right?

Then simply subtract what you get for selling them from the base cost, apportioned appropriately if you're not selling the whole holding, to get the capital gain. You can subtract dealing costs, both at purchase and sale, if any.

Of course

Thank you mc2fool. Really appreciate your very clear answer.

You have been declaring and paying any due taxes on the accumulated dividends each year ?!

Even though they were automatically rolled into buying more shares, that is still a taxable event.
