Dividend adjustments for stock commodities

Individual stocks will be affected by dividend adjustments.

When a company pays a dividend to its shareholders, it basically lowers the value of the company by paying out the dividend.

This is reflected in the ex-dividend date (that is, the date on which the company begins trading after deducting the value of the dividend), when the company's share price falls when the market opens to trade.

If the stock you own pays a dividend, you will receive the dividend after tax on the ex-dividend date.

Tax rates on dividends are as follows:

Germany: 25%

United Kingdom: 0% (i.e., dividends exempt)

The United States: 30%

Long positions will receive dividends according to the following formula:

Dividend adjustment = Dividend distributed X position size x (1 - tax rate)
