CP85, I know the forms exist (I've filled them in) but that is only part of the process.

Form 86 can be found or ordered on the homepage of the Swiss Federal Tax
Administration (http://www.estv.admin.ch).
The claim must be accompanied by evidence of deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax
You can claim for 3 years.

GOTABESIRIUS, "I know several that have"/

Perhaps you (or they) could share the successful process with us rather than just make that statement.

Thanks POKUFALUM, I think this is the 1st time I have seen detailed advice like this. Especially the link for the official exchange rates, this is the stage I am currently at.
UK is similar, although it is form 86 and it is 4 pages.
I also had to download SNAPFORM viewer before I could complete the form.

"This is a nice easy investment, buy on dips when near 150, and hold for next 5 years".

I don't think it's that easy, it first fell to 150 in 2008, 5 years later it was 135, 10 years later it was 154.

You'd have been better leaving your money in a bank.

I hold for a year and don't worry about daily ups and downs, there are better things to do with your time.

I think you'll soon find out.
In the many years I've been invested in this share I don't recall anyone saying that they have got the tax back, with or without an accountant.
I will persevere because it is worth a few grand but it's slow work.

But you don't ask why it rose on previous days. It's still nearly 10% up over the past 2 weeks.

It is a pain. I have got my ISA provider to send me the tax certificates but they are in sterling rather than swiss francs. I have asked for the details in swiss francs but I'm still waiting. This is before I start to fill the form in.

NEIL,
"It’s a cash machine for its directors".
It's also been a cash machine for me and many other investors on here.
It could have been for you as well Neil if you had any idea what you were doing. You've obviously made bad decisions, don't be so envious about the rest of us who have done so well.

DDROOSTER, were these companies failing before you joined them ?

OCDO is a FTSE 100 company on SETTS, it is not manipulated by MMs.

UNVRKW,

I originally bought these in May 2015 at 80p so I've made a very nice gain. I have taken profits along the way and will continue to do so as you never know when the good times will end.
It did fall to 12p at the end of 2015 so it has been a very rocky ride.

Yes you do need to answer that question, you don't make any sense.

I saw the title here and thought it was another attack on my poor old football team !

Good luck with the results tomorrow.

Why will going ex div affect the share price ?

NELSON, the share price was over £5 10 years ago, it's been very good to me but not without risk.

ASS, I don't need to do the maths, I just look at my bank statement and remember why I retired at 50, all down to investing in OCDO and ignoring the likes of you.

Well done with your gain but not selling at a loss is not a very sensible strategy, momentum is the main driver of share prices.

This has now become my best ever investment, overtaking my returns for OCDO.

It hasn't always been an easy ride though !
