The withdrawal agreement provides for a transition period until 31 December 2020. Why would anybody spend time on that with just two months to go, of which several weeks are Christmas? Not even taking account of the virus shutdown.

These people are so quick off the mark. How do they get into such positions. Guillotines required.

AMBROSE EVANS-PRITCHARD29 October 2020 • 5:18pm?Daily Telegraph The European Central Bank is increasingly worried that economic damage from Covid-19 could mutate into a full-blown financial crisis, setting off a second downward leg in the recession and deep scarring of the productive system.Christine Lagarde, the ECB's president, warned that risks are "clearly, clearly, tilted to the downside" and pledged a fresh blast of stimulus in December using "all instruments". Such a clear signal breaks with the institution's long-standing rule that it never commits in advance.

UK was and it is very important trade partner in Europe but Brussels never treated us as partners.. they adding countries in the union to use them and control them for their own benefit. Brussels ambition is to be the top power in the world, ignoring people and destroying democracy on the way to achieve their goals.


We left the right time. Let's hope Boris has the balls and end this nonsense and dont slave UK to Brussels once again with a bad deal!

Corporation tax on companies is 19% and payable quarterly. Dividend or not wont make a spot of difference to having to pay this tax.


Most shares are held in pension funds so no further tax. Same for PIs that hold in ISA and sipp.


For those that own shares not sheltered, if they are higher rate tax payers, they will need to pay the extra tax when they do their self assessment so quite a delay unless they are making a lot of money off share dividends and may be required to pay in instalments. Yes, their is a £2000 divi tax free band in total for ALL dividends received. The rest is treated as income subject to your tax bands.

Sydney Ashurst , Thursday, October 29, 2020, 09:39:Merkel and the EU are pressing for a fudge. German business has awoken to the grave financial peril they are in without a trade deal. The problem for the UK is the EU unelected hierarchy wants it on the cheap and with too many strings. The only media presenting the facts is the Daily Express.IF the UK fails to strike a trade deal with the EU before the end of the year, it will be a "catastrophe" for Germany, which will be harder hit than any other member of the EU27, a former MEP has said. Hans-Olaf Henkel, who is also a former Federation of German Industries (BDI), said Germany's massive car industry would be dealt a huge blow, as would other key sectors - and warned Brussels against complacently assuming Brexit was merely a "British problem". Mr Henkel was speaking after the publication of a report by credit insurer Euler Hermes, which puts the chances of a no-deal outcome at 45 percent. "However, the impression reigning in EU circles suggest that it is primarily a British problem. "Before Brexit, Britain was the largest single customer of the other 27 countries, ahead even of China and the United States."The corresponding risk for his own country should not be understated, Mr Henkel said.He added: "For Germany, the third largest exporting nation of the world, Britain was the third largest single customer, behind the US and China.To illustrate his point, Mr Henkel explained: "Just look at the number of German made limousines driving in British cities!Today you demonstrate that Barnier and Co are incapable of negotiating a fair trade deal, wrapped up before the end of the transition period.Walk away now and France and Germany will realise who are the losers. 5 years wasted, so a few months next year, with the boot on our foot in negotiations will be worth holding out for.

Chavitravi - The 10% deducted at source was abolished years ago, so now the whole of the dividend is paid to the shareholder and is then taxed as normal income.

If I remember right from many moons ago when I got a divi on something 10% was stopped out before I got paid it. Taxman got his cut right away. I dont know if that still happens.

[jonnybig] 29/10/2020 14:34

Correct. Dividends paid aren't tax allowable but dividend income can be subject to tax.

Corbyn has tweeted that he will "strongly contest" his suspension.

What the hell for? He's very old. He should book himself a nice cruise.
