Updated to reflect the many tax changes of the last 12 months, and with a greatly expanded directory of listed companies and their share registrars, this is a particularly useful reference tool for astute investors.
The Handbook lists the interim, final and special dividends paid from 1 July 1999 to 30 June 2000 by companies listed on the ASX. Also included is information on when the dividends were paid, the amount in cents per share, the degree of ranking, the tax rate at which the dividend was franked and the ex-dividend rate.
Dividends are, of course, not the only benefits available to shareholders. There are dividend reinvestment plans, share bonus plans and share top up plans. Additionally, a growing number of Australian companies offer shareholders substantial savings by way of discounts on their products. Full details of all benefit plans are contained in this book.
