What the name is doing here
The site exists because the public explanations of dividends tend to split in two. One half is a glossary so brief it skips the ex-dividend date. The other half is a list of shares to buy, with a yield in large type and the risks in a footnote. We wanted a third thing: a set of pages you can finish, that name the tax year, and that stop before a recommendation.
There is no star columnist and no model portfolio. The byline is the desk. If a page is wrong, the correction is public and the date at the top of the guide moves.
What we are not
- We are not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
- We do not hold client money, client assets, or login details for your broker.
- We do not arrange deals, manage investments, or take a fee that depends on what you buy.
- We do not accept payment to mention a company, a fund, or a trust. The pages do not take sponsored mentions.
How a guide gets written
Tax figures are taken from the rates HMRC and GOV.UK publish for a named year, currently 6 April 2026 to 5 April 2027 for dividend rates and the £500 allowance. When a paragraph is an illustration, it says so and shows the arithmetic. When a market habit is only a habit, such as Thursday ex-dividend dates in London, it is labelled as a habit.
We would rather leave a sentence out than invent a founder's biography, a performance record, or a client list. There is no client list. Readers write to us about the pages. That correspondence is not a testimonial programme.
