Frequently Asked Questions
How are UK dividends taxed for US investors?
US investors typically face no withholding tax on UK dividends due to the US-UK tax treaty. However, you still owe US taxes. Dividends from UK stocks are generally qualified for the lower US tax rate.
What currency are UK dividends paid in?
Most UK stocks pay dividends in GBP (British Pounds). Some large multinationals like Shell pay in USD. Your broker will convert to your account currency at prevailing rates.
Why do UK companies pay interim and final dividends?
This is traditional UK practice. The interim dividend is declared with half-year results, while the final (larger) dividend is declared with full-year results and approved at the AGM.
