Dividend
The proposed 1993 final dividend of 9.45 pence per share will be
paid on 30 September to shareholders who are on the register on
1 September 1993.
Tax on dividends
The March 1993 Budget affected the way in which dividend tax credits
are treated for UK taxpayers as follows:
- For basic rate (25 per cent) taxpayers,
the changes should have no effect.
- Lower rate (20 per cent) taxpayers
will no longer be able to claim any part of the tax credit attached
to their dividends paid after 5 April 1993.
- Higher rate (40 per cent) taxpayers
will be liable to the Inland Revenue for a further 20 per cent
(previously 15 per cent) tax on the total of the dividend paid
and the tax credit from 6 April 1993.
- Non taxpayers will still be able to
claim the tax credit attached to their dividend.
