Good,
A withholding tax of 35%, a marginal rate of 30% (in France) and a CSG of 15.5%, in other words when Novartis pays me 3CHF in dividends, I will only have one left...
Enough to be disgusted.
An idea comes to mind for holding Swiss securities: from a buy and hold perspective, why not choose Swiss securities with a low payout that distribute very little and capitalize?
I think I read that there is a strong correlation between dividends and share price increases. Are we talking about dividends distributed or company profits (ROE)? Would you recommend some stocks with this in mind?
