Shares

[Doodle]

I’m in need of some help please.

Years ago I had shares in a company I worked for. I cashed them all in or so I thought and then in 2007 I received a script dividend advice stating that I had 16 ordinary shares, total cash value of the 2007 interim dividend 40 pence, cash residue to be carried forward to next script dividend £1.18.

I contacted Lloyds registrars and said as far as I was aware all my shares had been cashed in. It appears that one certificate had not. In order to get a new certificate issued it was going to cost if I remember correctly about £65. I decided not to bother as it wasn’t worth it and basically filed the paperwork away and forgot about it. Last May I got a cheque for 8 pence and in November last year a cheque for 14 pence and I now have 23 ordinary shares.

What I have omitted to do as I had totally forgotten about them is to declare these shares and my pence on the french tax form.

So my question is where and how do I list these - do I show them on my 3916 form and for 22 pence do I really have to bother?

I hope this makes sense, thanks Mrs KG

You can hardly put 22 pence on a tax form as you only put whole euros! I would not worry about the 3916 either.

I am sure it is possible to give the shares to charity at no cost. A broker would know.

Thanks Hereford I agree with you but I do worry that it's an account that I haven't declared previously and therefore as I can't put pence on the form should it be shown as an account on the 3916. I want to keep the tax man happy.
