UK Co. Share Dividends - info for tax return?

Explorer900

Can someone please help me with how I can access information on the share dividends paid out in any given financial year by listed companies? I need to complete my tax return for 2004/5 - I normally receive dividend cheques (very small ones!) with a tax voucher. However, following a relationship breakup my file for these has gone missing.......

I know of 2 guides that can provide this info.
1. FT Interactive Data publish The UK & Irish Dividend & Interest Service
2. The Pinsent Masons Company Guide

Both are only available on subscription and as I only need info on 3 companies - AstraZeneca, ICI and Marks & Spencer, I cannot justify the cost.

Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Have you tried the websites of the 3 companies concerned?

Have you tried looking on your bank statement for where you paid the cheques in?

Have you got access to any of the Annual Directors reports and statements?
Some companies print a dividend history in them usually towards the end of them with other stats such as number of shareholders and holdings.
These are available free for perusal purposes in my local library reference section (and it's a socialist council) so you may get some luck there.

To calculate the dividends in each case do number of shares x div rate = £net div

Astrazeneca - paid 2 dividends in the tax year
20/9/04
div rate = 0.16
21/3/05
div rate = 0.343

ICI - paid 2 dividends in the tax year
16/4/04
div rate = 0.035
1/10/04
div rate = 0.034

M&S - paid 2 dividends in the tax year
16/7/04
div rate = 0.071
14/1/05
div rate = 0.046

Hope that helps, I have access to FT Interactive at work.

The registrars for all those three companies are Lloyds TSB. If you register for their Shareview service at https://www.shareview.co.uk you can quickly set up a portfolio, which among other things enables you to access details of dividends you have received.
However, you will need your shareholder's reference from either the share certificate or any year's tax voucher in order to add each share holding to your portfolio.

Apologies to explorer...

Does anyone know how to calculate tax on scip dividends? The Tax Retuen guise of very guide but I can't seem to find where to include such dividends in the calculation of tax due.
