Friends and Scholars,
Back to the tax issue, I hold this share outside a SIPP or ISA and I understand I will be charged the 15% US withholding tax on the dividends. My question is, can I claim a tax "credit" for this in the UK to offset against UK dividend tax (which I pay at 33.75%), or do I have to pay both?
Many Thanks
The Grump

Hi Trek
I'm not one for conspiracy theories but I have to agree that the price movements for this share are somewhat odd. I too have had difficulty making purchases and your comment that "It’s almost like the short is being used to get the price down for the buys" does remind me of the infamous Hound of Hounslow (the autistic teenager who managed to manipulate market prices in the US to his advantage from his bedroom in his mum's house in London).

Regarding PAY of course I couldn't possibly say but it is odd that Director buys, a healthy and increasing dividend and even a very robust trading update, aren't enough to halt the slide in the share price.
Hopefully it will come to a conclusion one way or another and we'll see the share price eventually move up very quickly to a more realistic 600+.
Usual caveats
