G'day j4mesa,

Contract date is your buy/sell contract notes

Even though you are entitled to the dividend, the registry needs to know how you want your dividend paid i.e. cheque or direct deposit, & they also need your TFN. If you don't supply your TFN then they can deduct 48.5% withholding tax from the dividend. Of course you can claim it at tax time but who needs the hassle & you are not making use of the full dividend.

Thanks alot Roz....now it makes more sense to me as of why we are having record date............

Say we sell b4 record date...... is there any way we can inform the registry regarding the TFN n etc2?

Yes, you can usually do this online with the major registries.

If you are using a dividend trading strategy, it is wise to always register your TFN & method of dividend payment yourself rather than leave it to the broker on each trade as the broker may not register before record date, especially if you have purchased just prior to exdiv date. Record date is 4 business days after exdiv date & also the registry won't know about your transaction until T3, so in this case it is best to do it on settlement date.

You can apply online to become a member of the above registries so you can do this online.

If it is only the odd stock you need to register, than you can download the necessary forms from their websites, then fax or post the details.

It sounds a lot of hassle, but if you don't supply the TFN, you will have 48.5% withholding tax deducted from the dividend. After a while it just becomes part of everyday trading.

MOF has a very nice looking chart Roz. Higher highers and higher lows.

Re: Dividend, Share Price. Is there a connection?

G'day TheAbyss,

Yes, MOF is one of the early LPT's to report in this group.....but they all only pay a quarterly distribution, so they don't have quite the price surge as does the others that report in June & December.

I am only after the trading profit & will probably sell before the distribution.
