The ex-dividend date is the cut-off for entitlement: buy shares on or after it and the next dividend goes to the seller — ex-dividend dates explained. This calendar covers UK-listed companies, including the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250, and every date and amount on it is extracted from the announcement the company itself filed under UK listing rules — never copied from another dividend site. It refreshes every trading day as new declarations, timetable amendments and currency confirmations are filed; the amounts shown are exactly as declared, in the currency the company declared them.

Dividend history pages for 320 UK-listed companies and 760 ETF share classes — five years of declared dividends, every figure linked to its source filing. Browse all companies →, see quarterly payers or the ETF calendar.
What the ex-dividend date actually is, why it sits one business day before the record date, and what it means for when you buy or sell.
The dividend allowance, the tax bands that apply above it, and how dividends interact with ISAs, SIPPs and the personal allowance.
The two dates that decide who gets paid and when, the UK settlement mechanics that connect them, and how long a dividend really takes to pay.
Why REIT distributions are taxed differently from ordinary dividends, what the 20% withholding means, and how to reclaim it.
Two ways of taking dividends as shares instead of cash — how they differ mechanically and why the tax treatment is not the same.
Fixed, cumulative, and very different from ordinary dividends — how preference dividends work and how they appear in announcements.
Who declares what, why final dividends need shareholder approval, and what a 'proposed' dividend means for the timetable.
Corrections, currency confirmations and timetable amendments — the announcement types that quietly move dates after declaration.
The ex-dividend date is the first day a share trades without the right to the next dividend. Buy on or after it and the seller keeps that dividend; the record date one business day later fixes the register.
Every trading day. New dividend declarations, timetable amendments and currency confirmations are extracted from companies' regulatory filings as they are published; this page was last updated on 03 Sep 2026.
Every date and amount is extracted from the announcement the company itself filed under UK listing rules on the FCA National Storage Mechanism, and each row links to that filing. Nothing is copied from other dividend sites.
