Dividend Withholding Tax ("DWT")
The Company is obliged to deduct tax at the standard rate of income tax (currently 20%) from dividends paid to Irish resident or ordinarily resident individual shareholders, and also from certain other shareholders. An explanatory leaflet dealing with Dividend Withholding Tax has been published by the Irish Revenue Commissioners on their website and can be accessed by clicking this link: DWT Leaflet
Please note that non-resident and certain (non-individual) resident shareholders who are entitled to exemption from DWT must complete a declaration form claiming entitlement to the particular exemption and return it to the Company’s Registrar, Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Limited.
To obtain the relevant form, please send your name and address, as they appear on your share certificate, to the Company’s Registrar at the following address:
