Costs related to corporate actions

If you hold a long position on a share CFD, any dividend income you receive is subject to either a tax or a tax equivalent charge.

The rate of tax or tax equivalent that you pay is dependent on the country of domicile of the company whose share CFDs you have purchased. This country information can be found in the Instrument Specification on the MT5 platform in the Instrument Information section of the mobile application.

If you have purchased a share CFD of a United States domiciled company, then the tax you pay is determined by your country of tax residence and the tax treaty rate between your country and the US. If your country of tax residence does not have a tax treaty with the US, then the default rate as below is applied.

We’ve made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the below rates at the time of publication which are subject to change from time to time.

Frequently asked questions
Smart answers to common questions.

What is the difference between trading physical shares and share CFDs?

Put simply, share CFDs allow you to trade with leverage, whereas the trading of physical shares requires payment of the full cost of those shares. By trading share CFDs, you are speculating on the price of the underlying asset, you are not taking ownership of it. The leverage you get with share CFDs will amplify both profits and losses. With physical shares you can only lose the amount you spent to acquire them. This is why buying physical shares is more of a long-term strategy, where you are looking to cash in years down the line, not in a week or two, as would be typical of trading share CFDs.
