So let's say I bought $1000 worth of stocks 6 months ago which is worth $2000 as of today. My country does not have capital gains tax for stocks.
Today, hypothetically, I'm also moving to the UK (or US) and am now obliged to pay capital gains taxes. Fast forward another 6 months and the stocks are worth $3000 and I'm selling them.
Now, do I pay taxes on $1000 gains since I moved to the UK (or US) or $2000 since I bought it? If I'm in the US, do I pay short-term or long-term taxes?
