UK Capital Gains Tax, and stock profit abroad?


Lets assume that I made a profit trading on some foreign stock market, and this foreign country does not have CGT at all. What happens when I want to transfer money back to the UK, am I liable to UK's CGT or is there some "no-double-taxing" scheme (as I can claim that I was taxed in that foreign country, which has no CGT). Btw I am in the higest UK income tax bracket (40%) if this is relevant.
please help, thanks!

If you are resident in the UK (and you seem to be) you must pay tax on your worldwide income, including CGT on foreign gains. Fill in a tax return and declare the gains.
