Dividends
A dividend is a distribution of a company's earnings to shareholders, determined by its board of directors. To receive dividends, you must hold securities (whole or fractional) before the ex-dividend date. Any stocks bought on or after this date are ineligible.
Taxes on dividends
Revolut automatically processes dividends into your investment account. Revolut doesn't advise on tax matters. If you have any questions or concerns, you should seek independent professional advice.
- For US stocks: non-US persons may be subject to up to a 30% withholding tax on US dividends, which can be reduced based on their country's tax treaty
- For EEA stocks and ETFs: withholding tax percentage depends on the origin country of security, and can be up to 35%
- For UK stocks and ETFs: there is generally no withholding tax on dividends
Types of dividends
