Hong Kong stocks dividend

Q&A
1

When Hong Kong stocks distribute dividends, there will be “dividend fee” and “scrip fee” charged by CCASS.

  1. How do you guys account for in the portfolio?

  2. By the way, what brokers do u guys use? Cos the weird thing is, DBS passes the cost of “dividend fee” and “scrip fee” to customers whereas FSMONE pay it themselves.

Thank you

I use Interactive Brokers. They don’t pass on that fee so I don’t account for it.

You could probably use the withholding tax function if the fee is % based.

They’re usually quite late with their letters and/or SMS notifications. Usually just a few days before the dateline notice but not an issue for me
