**Dividend is a welfare behavior in which a listed company distributes part of its profits to shareholders according to the number of shares after the year-end or mid-year settlement. There are two forms of dividends, namely cash dividends and dividends. Listed companies can choose one of them to pay dividends, or they can do both.
Cash dividend is a dividend method in which a listed company pays cash to shareholders according to a certain percentage. It is also a way for investors to earn a return from the company's profits.
Normally, the company decides whether to pay cash dividends at the annual general meeting of shareholders each year. Shareholders can get the corresponding dividend amount according to the number of ** they hold. If the company decides to pay cash dividends after the ex-dividend date, the amount of the dividend will be automatically reduced on the day before the dividend payment date.
* Dividends are what we often call high transfer, high transfer refers to the fact that in the ** market, listed companies will distribute part of their profits to shareholders in cash or ** form after making profits, and at the same time increase the number of shares held by shareholders. High transfer ** usually refers to the proportion of bonus shares or transfer ** is very large, generally 10 or more than 5 is considered a high transfer.
The essence of high transfer is the internal structural adjustment of shareholders' equity, which has no impact on the return on net assets, and does not have any substantial impact on the company's profitability. Although the total share capital of the company has expanded, the company's shareholders' equity will not increase as a result.
In addition, while the net profit remains unchanged, the capital reserve is converted into equity capital to dilute earnings per share due to the expansion of the share capital. On the implementation date of the company's "high transfer" plan, the company's stock price will be ex-rights, that is to say, although the "high transfer" plan has increased the number of ** in the hands of investors, the stock price will also be adjusted accordingly, the proportion of investors' shares remains unchanged, and the total value of ** held has not changed.
As for the tax deduction of ** dividend distribution, there are different regulations according to different holding periods.
Holding period of less than one month (including one month): Dividends received by investors are subject to individual income tax at a rate of 20%.
Holding period of more than one month and less than one year (including one year): The dividends and dividends received by investors are subject to individual income tax at a rate of 10%.
