Payment of declared dividends

Didn't find your answer?

Can declared dividends be paid at diferent times for the same class of shareholder? No difference in amount or timing of dividend for individual shareholders, just paid by the Company at different times.

I would assume there would be some kind of agreement?

The person not receiving gets credit to shareholder loan which can be repaid to shareholder anytime.

But that would assume proper records and documentation actually exist

I suppose I was the non receiver I would be heartily annoyed if the firm then went bust and my co shareholder had had his pay out.

Is this being attempted in order to defer the payment of the dividend to the next tax year for the purpose of the shareholder's self assessment?
