📈 Say Hello to Accumulating Shares
Forget about getting cash dividends like finding loose change in your couch cushions. Enter the world of Accumulating Shares, where your ordinary shares do the heavy lifting! It’s a win-win—more shares, more fun, fewer trips to the bank! 🥳
But what on earth are accumulating shares, you ask? Imagine getting additional super shares instead of your regular dividend. So instead of the company passing you a check with a mischievous grin, they give you more shares! It’s the difference between a cash gift and a gift that keeps on giving.
🌱 The Magic of Capital Growth
Accumulating shares turn annual income into capital growth. In simpler terms, full steam ahead toward wealth! When a company decides to issue accumulating shares, it deducts tax from the declared dividend (just like your paycheck after a round with Uncle Sam). Then, the net dividend is used to buy more fairytale-fulfilling ordinary shares for shareholders.
These magical shares dodge the income tax bullet, though capital gains tax still lurks in the background like a villain twirling its mustache. But that’s a tale for another day!
Pro Tip: Holding accumulating shares could mean you don’t have to face the income tax dragon every year, but capital gains tax might make a cameo when you sell your shares.

🚀 Accumulating Shares Formula
Here’s a nifty formula to understand how accumulating shares work:
div_yield = (dividend / stock_price) * 100
div_to_shares = ((1 - tax_rate) * dividend) / share_price
- div_yield: Dividend yield (% of income based on stock price)
- div_to_shares: Number of accumulating shares after tax is deducted
Let’s break it down: if you hold shares in Fantabulous Corp., receiving a dividend of $100, and the company deducts 22% for tax, you’ll end up with $78 ($100 - $22). If each share costs $10, you score 7.8 extra shares!
