Dividends
When the Ex-dividend date specified in the instrument occurs, for all clients who have any portfolio in that instrument on that date, the dividends (and taxes) that are due to the client appear in this section:
The following information is available in the dividend table:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Account | the number of the account in which the dividend is to be made |
| Instrument | the instrument on which the dividends are to be made |
| Position amount | the volume of the instrument position on the account |
| Quote amount | position volume in the quoted currency of the instrument |
| Value per share | the value per unit of the asset in the position |
| Issue fee | amount of special commission on dividend payment |
| Tax percent | tax percentage on dividend accrual (set in the Tax profiles section) |
| Value date | value date of the dividend trade (payment date of the dividend) |
| Transaction date | trade date (ex-dividend date) |
| Status | transaction status |
To make dividends, you need to click on the Make dividends button. After the dividends are made, they will change status from the Ready to the Exists.
To make a dividend with a special commission, you need to click Make dividend with fee on the line with it and specify the commission.
You can cancel a dividend by clicking on the trash can icon.
Please note! To cancel a dividend, it is necessary to cancel the existing transactions on the trade with it beforehand. When attempting to cancel a dividend, the system will indicate the transaction numbers (dividend transaction and tax transaction) to be deleted.
A filter by instrument is available in the section.
Important! The dividend payment process is arranged as follows: - Ex-dividend date – the date of dividend formation. Such operations are mandatory on the same day. The dividend amount is formed and displayed inFuture cashflow. - Dividend payment date – the start date of actual payments. Does not guarantee that the broker will receive the payment immediately, as there may be delays on the part of the provider. For this reason, the platform allows you to close the day without mandatory netting. This process cannot be automated, as the moment of receipt of dividends may vary. Therefore, the business decision on conducting transactions remains with the broker. After the transaction, the amount fromFuture cashflowgoes toCurrent balance. The situation is similar with taxes, since they are directly related to the accrual of dividends. The broker can carry out nettings after receiving funds and close the days before that moment without any problems.
Also note! The section does not display zero positions.
