Good morning,

I had posted a comment dated March 25, 2013 in this topic but it concerned the Swiss Re dividend.
The dividend is tax-free (no 35% withholding tax), I think it will be the same for this year.

 

My question is:
Do you think that the regular dividend of 2014 will be supplemented by a special dividend as was the case in 2013? I did some research on the internet and the Agefi website talks about a new special dividend for this year 2014 while the Swiss Re website indicates that the 2013 dividend was an exception and will not be renewed.

 

Swiss Re's annual results will be published tomorrow, February 20, we should know a little more. But it might be a good idea to invest in the stock before the figures and dividend are announced.

 

Hoping someone can answer me.

 

Greetings

 

Guy

Good evening,

 

Thank you both very much for responding to my message.

 

The dividend payment is particularly interesting this year for SREN shares.

Good morning,

 

I am new to the site and I have a question related to the message from " birdienumnum » from 03.06, see the sentence below:

 

For Swiss securities, it is true that the withholding tax of 35% (called anticipated tax in Switzerland) is very high. On the other hand, there are Swiss securities whose dividends are tax-free, if the distribution comes from reserves (agio). This year, I was able to enjoy tax-free dividends from ABB, ZURN, RIEN, SQN, SREN, KOM to name just a few examples.

 

The Swiss Re (SREN) share whose dividend arrives at the beginning of April should be paid without the 35% withholding tax, can someone confirm this for me. And since this year the dividend is CHF 7.50 (CHF 3.50 dividend + CHF 4 special payment), do you think that part of this dividend will be subject to the 35% withholding tax or if the entire dividend of CHF 7.50 will be paid per share?

 

Thank you in advance for your answers.
