I have received a dividend on shares which I obtained through a share scheme with my foreign employer. The shares are held in Germany, and I have received a dividend of only about 50 euros per year for the past 4 years. 25% tax has been paid on the dividend in Germany. Do also need to pay CGT on this dividend in Ireland? Do I need to claim the German tax back first, and then pay CGT here? Is it really necessary for such a tiny amount?

Also, I have recently sold some of these shares. The gain on the sale is less than the 1270 euro personal exemption. Do I still need to declare the sale of the shares, eventhough I have not gone over the 1270 exemption and have no tax to pay on it?
