UK dividend dates · primary sources only
Every UK dividend, traced to the filing that declared it.
The Dividend Registry compiles ex-dividend dates, record dates, payment dates and declared amounts for LSE and AIM companies — from the official announcements issuers file under UK listing rules, refreshed every trading day.
Why another dividend site?
Provenance
Primary sources, not copies of copies
Most dividend data is passed between aggregators until nobody knows where a date came from. Every record here is extracted from the issuer’s own regulatory announcement and links back to it.
Corrections
Changes are recorded, not overwritten
When an issuer corrects a date or confirms a sterling amount for a foreign-currency dividend, the registry keeps the full history — you can see what changed and when.
Coverage
Declarations wherever they appear
Dividends are declared in dedicated announcements, results statements and timetable updates. The registry reads all of them, every trading day.
Guides
Ex-dividend dates explained
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.
UK dividend tax 2026/27
The dividend allowance, the tax bands that apply above it, and how dividends interact with ISAs, SIPPs and the personal allowance.
Record date vs payment date
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.
PIDs: property income distributions
Why REIT distributions are taxed differently from ordinary dividends, what the 20% withholding means, and how to reclaim it.
Scrip dividends vs DRIPs
Two ways of taking dividends as shares instead of cash — how they differ mechanically and why the tax treatment is not the same.
Preference share dividends
Fixed, cumulative, and very different from ordinary dividends — how preference dividends work and how they appear in announcements.
Interim, final and special dividends
Who declares what, why final dividends need shareholder approval, and what a 'proposed' dividend means for the timetable.
What’s coming
- A dividend calendar covering LSE and AIM listed companies — ex-dividend, record and payment dates in one place.
- A page for every dividend-paying company, with its full declaration history and source filings.
The dataset is being compiled now, every trading day. The full registry launches in 2026.
