Dividends
Our dividends are usually paid twice a year. If a shareholder has provided details for a mandate to be set up, dividends will be paid direct to a bank or building society account. We also have a Dividend Reinvestment Plan ('DRIP') available, should shareholders elect to reinvest their dividends to purchase additional shares.

Additional information on dividends
For dividends paid prior to 5 April 2016, tax vouchers were issued stating the amount of tax credit paid on each dividend. With effect from 6 April 2016, the UK 10% tax credit on dividends was abolished and replaced with a £5,000 tax-free allowance and tax vouchers by dividend confirmations.
For shareholders who receive dividends direct to a bank account, an annual dividend confirmation is issued.
