Dividends for Index CFDs

When a company issues dividends, this will affect the price of its shares. If multiple companies pay dividends in the same day, this can also affect the price of the index on which the companies are listed. We make sure that dividend adjustments don’t affect your CFD positions, by debiting or crediting your account with the amount incurred on the running profit or loss. On this page you can see which indices are issuing dividends over the next few days, and how dividend withholding tax works on share CFDs.

Dividend withholding tax by country

When you hold a share CFD position over an ex-dividend date, a cash adjustment is applied to your account. If you are long, your account will be credited with the dividend. If you are short, your account will be debited. The amount you receive or pay depends on the gross dividend, minus any withholding tax applied by the country where the underlying share is listed.   

Withholding tax is a percentage automatically deducted by that country's tax authority before the dividend reaches you. 

Example:  

If you hold a long position on a US stock that pays a $1.00 dividend per share, you would receive 70% of that – $0.70 – as a 30% withholding tax applies.  

The percentage credited or debited differs by country. See the table below for a full breakdown.
