Irish Dividend Withholding Tax

 

The gross dividend will be subject to Irish Dividend Withholding Tax ("Irish DWT") at a rate of 25%, which will be deducted from the amount paid to shareholders. Shareholders who are not tax resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland and who meet certain conditions may be entitled to claim a refund of Irish DWT (being the full amount of the Irish DWT deducted) withheld from the Irish Revenue Commissioners.

 

Shareholders beneficially entitled to the dividend who are not companies, are not resident or ordinarily resident for the purposes of tax in Ireland, and are tax resident in a relevant territory (such as South Africa) can apply for a refund of Irish DWT. Companies can also apply for a refund if they are tax resident in South Africa and not under the direct or indirect control of Irish tax residents; are controlled by persons who are tax resident in South Africa (or another country with which Ireland has a double taxation agreement) and not controlled directly or indirectly by others; or if their principal class of shares (or those of their parent company) are substantially and regularly traded on a recognised stock exchange in Ireland or in a country with which Ireland has a double taxation agreement. Such shareholders are not generally expected to have any Irish tax charge on dividends.

 

A refund of Irish DWT withheld can be applied for with the Claim for refund of Dividend Withholding Tax available on the Irish Revenue Commissioner's official website and the following link:

 

https://www.revenue.ie/en/companies-and-charities/documents/dwt/dwt-claim-for-refund.pdf

 

Shareholders should complete the required details and select Option A or Option B as appropriate. Shareholders will also be required to provide the relevant Exemption Declaration with the form (Form V2A for individuals, Form V2B for companies and Form V2C for other unincorporated shareholders). The Forms V2A and V2C require confirmation from the local tax authority that the shareholder is tax resident in that jurisdiction. The relevant forms can be found at this link:

 

https://www.revenue.ie/en/companies-and-charities/dividend-withholding-tax/exemptions-for-non-residents.aspx

 

The relevant form must be filed with Irish Revenue before the expiry of four years from the year in which the Irish DWT was deducted in order to claim the refund.

 

South African income tax and dividends tax consequences

 

The dividend should be regarded as a 'foreign dividend' for South African income tax and South African dividends tax purposes, paid from Ireland.

 

Foreign dividends received in respect of shares which are dual-listed on the JSE are, however, exempt from income tax. Consequently, no South African income tax should be incurred by the shareholders in respect of the dividend received.

 

For shareholders on the South African register, the dividend is subject to South African dividend tax at a rate of 20% ("SA DWT"), unless the shareholder qualifies for an exemption.

 

Any shareholder who receives a dividend which is subject to SA DWT (i.e. where no exemption is available) will qualify for a reduction in SA DWT in respect of Irish DWT, to the extent that the Irish Revenue Commissioners does not allow the refund of the Irish DWT after application for same (i.e. where there is no right of recovery).

 

The ultimate result, should Irish DWT be refunded, is that the dividend will be subject to SA DWT at a rate of 20% (unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption from SA DWT).

 

Additional information for shareholders on the South African Register

 

To facilitate settlement of the dividend to entitled SA shareholders, shares may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 19 November 2025 (the SA Ex-Dividend Date) and Friday, 21 November 2025 (the Record Date). The exchange rate for determining the quarterly dividend paid in rand will be confirmed by way of an announcement on Monday, 17 November 2025. Shares cannot be moved between the SA Share Register, or between the SA, UK and Ireland register, between Monday, 17 November 2025 and Friday, 21 November 2025. All dates are inclusive.

 

The Company has a total of 1,113,535,009 shares in issue, of which 200,000 are held in treasury. The dividend will be distributed by the Company (Irish tax registration number 598470) and is regarded as a foreign dividend for shareholders on the South African register.
