Hi, I’ve got my dividends this week, but it’s unclear how it’s calculated. Please help me understand,
1 share - 0.62$ dividend
So in gbp it’s 0.62 divided by conversion rate on record date. On 16th feb it was less than 0.74 for Usd to GBP.
Dividend for 1 share in GBP = 0.62*0.74 = 0.4588 pence
Whereas i’ve received for a share around 40 pence.
Are you taking into account the withholding tax?
I guess not. $0.62 was gross distribution before the 15% withholding tax

Thanks Dave, apologies I’m a newbie to investing and wasn’t aware about this, Also another doubt, is this 15% of gross dividends applicable for UK listed companies as well ?

“The tech-heavy Nasdaq in the US is down over 12% so far this year. That presents plenty of opportunities for me to buy shares in big US-listed tech companies such as Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft.”

Oh dear! No a friend mentioned it and I never checked it out
Not entirely new news, as Microsoft in their earnings call
in April reported a strong dollar/Forex potentially affecting their revenue/profit during the year
But for the 3% drop today
Buying from $230 and below, hope it keeps dropping
