RE: divi23 May 2022 10:19
Wouldnt think its due to the currency, lots declare/pay in dollars, such as shell, bp etc.
This happens with glen sometimes, i remember the divi (its not technically a divi) they paid a few years back, it was one of the first they paid as a "return of capital" (which is what it really is). There were lots of discussions around the tax treatment of that (CG implications rather than divi taxes), so maybe they are being cautious and checking up with hmrc/tax authorities again like they did on that initial occasion? That would be my guess, apart from if its kept in the brokers bank its earning them interest, not us.
