#Dividend

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

In my three year journey to learn more about investing, I've found... that I'm annoyed by dividends.

Like, did the company run out of ideas? Or is choosing not to invest in its employees? Or not want to retool to build in more efficiency and target society's climate goals?

I like it when companies reinvest in themselves and focus on long-term growth. But dividends seem... off.

One interesting (continuing) shift in yesterday's #budget was the move to further reduce the tax-free allowance on #dividend income; down to £500 by next year - which is a tenth of what it was when it was introduced in 2016 (at £5000).

Not an issue for major #investors or the rich (particularly) but for small scale #shareholders an effective tax increase... which suggests, once again, the #Tories have lost interest in a form of 'popular' #capitalism that includes small shareholdings
