You're absolutely right and I agree but it didn't stop them coming after me, I paid an accountant to help and he was confused. They also tried claiming I was foreign currency trading and other things I've never even heard of.
HMRC stung me last year because of this, I think usually it doesn't matter but if you are "randomly" selected for audit then they begin demanding proof of where the money originally comes from and where the profit was made, to determine what rate of capital gains to apply.
