Shares - Taxation

    I currently have shares from my employer amounting to approximately 80k gross over the next 18 months.

    To date, I've sold some of these shares and am paying approximately 52% tax on them. Does this sound correct? It seems a little on the high side.

    The shares are from a US company and sold through Morgan Stanley as a broker so would be good to know what I should expect to pay and whether I should submit a balancing statement.

    Thanks for any help.
