Always wondered why my portfolio ‘wobbled’ round a bit when the markets weren’t even open

Potentially silly question alert…
If I add a few of these to my FT ISA, does the US tax thing apply? If so, is it simply deducted as the dividends are paid? So I’d get 15% less than I expect?

Yes the 15% witholding tax will be deducted before you get the dividend, so yes take 15% off what you would anticipate getting if you were a US resident investor.

Thank you
Unfortunately I read that we will lose GLAD from the GIA in September. FT intend to move this into the Standard £5 a month set.
It’s in my ISA which it where it best, there actually no point in being in GIA esp being a monthly dividend payer, you don’t want many dividend going into a GIA

My taxable income is all divided based, and it is always below £12,000 p.a. I live off dividends.
The last thing I want is a monthly payer in an ISA.
So you live off £2000 a year? Cause that is the dividend max before tax apparently in a GIA
So tax free in a ISA and upto £20k payable allowance doesn’t work for you?
You do not pay tax on any dividend income that falls within your Personal Allowance .
I have an isa with HL.
Here is a tax calculator including dividends:
This is what I’m saying your only allowed £2000, if your even getting near £2000 your doing great but if your manage to go over That it would be best in a ISA

My income is zero except for some benefits. The rest is from dividends. I live in a small house and spend not a lot . Hopefully the climate change won’t kill off my veggies or my egg layers.

Thanks NeilB.
Here is an example if tax on divs:
Sandra receives a non-dividend income of £7,670 and a dividend income of £14,000 from shares. To work out how much she has to pay tax on, Sandra must first deduct her Personal Allowance from her non-dividend income:
£7,670 - £12,570 = 0 to pay in tax with £4,900 of her Personal Allowance left over.
She can then deduct the remainder of her Personal Allowance from her dividend income:
£14,000 - £4,900 = £9,100
Sandra now deducts her dividend allowance:
£9,100 - £2,000 = £7,100 total taxable income from dividends.
Since Sandra’s earnings are within the basic threshold, she will pay:
£7,100 x 8.75% = £621.25 tax on dividends
( NI contribution is around £125 p/a).
For more examples of how the dividend allowance works check out HMRC’s dividend allowance factsheet.
Sandra should have got an ISA
