Reporting Santander dividends

drlabman

Anybody know how to report dividends received from Santander shares on a UK tax return? Does it go on foreign income pages? I'm talking fairly small amounts - less than £100. Maybe it can normally be reported on UK pages but I have to complete foreign income pages anyway, due to having savings abroad, so not sure where where to put it.

I believe there is a concession for those with very small holdings [many former Abbey shareholders] not to have to complete Foreign Income pages, but mine goes there. As you have other Foreign Income I suppose that's the correct place for yours.

I calledHMRC about this a year ago and was told Santander scrip dividends don't need to be included at all on your SA return, which is what I've now been doing. I dunno if that applies when you receive cash dividends instead of shares.
