Personal income tax for common territory

How are dividends taxed?

The gross amount of dividends is included in the savings tax base of the tax return for the year they are received.

The tax rates to be applied in the common territory on the taxable savings base are paid in accordance with the following scale for 2016 and 2017:

2016 and 2017:
19% on the first €6,000
21% on tax base of up to €50,000
23% above €50,000


The withholding rate applicable to dividends is 19%.

How are the different options in the CaixaBank Scrip Dividend Program taxed?

Subscription of new shares

This is the default option. Delivery to shareholders of bonus shares does not constitute income for shareholders.

It should be noted that when shares are transferred, the difference between the proceeds from the transmission and the amount paid at purchase is a capital gain or loss. Hence, with regard to future transmissions, the purchase price of received (new) shares, and of the shares from which they derive (old) will be the result of dividing the total cost of the old shares by the number of both old and bonus shares.

The age of the bonus shares (new shares) shall be that of the shares from which they derive (old).

Selling allotment rights in the market

During the 2016 financial year, the amount obtained from the sale of allotment rights will reduce the purchase value of the originating shares (old shares). Nevertheless, if the amount should exceed the purchase price of the (old) shares, the difference will be considered a capital gain in the tax period in which the transfer of rights occurs. This cash payout is not subject to tax withholding.

From 2017, the amount obtained from the sale of subscription rights on the market must be included as capital gains on the taxable savings base in the tax return corresponding to the financial year in which it is received. This capital gains is subject to a tax witholding rate of 19% to be imposed by the depository or, in its absense, the financial intermediary that was involved in the transmission.

Sale of allotment rights to CaixaBank

This option is equivalent to receiving the dividend in the form of a cash payout; therefore it is subject to tax withholding upon receipt. The gross amount received must be included as a capital return in the savings tax base in the income tax return of the year in which it is received.


Note: This guide is applicable to common tax territory and, accordingly, does not apply to persons subject to a special tax scheme.
