Dividend Income

[telematic2000]

Hi,

I have a question about dividend income from the stock and shares. Does the company paying the dividend should be based in the UK? I could not find anything about it in the rules and guidance. So, the company could be based overseas?

PS: I am not talking about dividend income from a director of a limited company.

any idea?

(b) To evidence dividends (except where paragraph 9 applies) or other income from investments, stocks, shares, bonds or trust funds:
(i) A certificate showing proof of ownership and the amount(s) of any investment(s).
(ii) A portfolio report (for a financial institution regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (and the Prudential Regulation Authority where applicable) in the UK) or a dividend voucher showing the company and person’s details with the person’s net dividend amount.
(iii) personal bank statements for or from the 12-month period prior to the date of application showing that the income relied upon was paid into an account in the name of the person or of the person and their partner jointly.
(iv) Where the person is a director of a limited company based in the UK, evidence that the company is not of a type specified in paragraph 9(a). This can include the latest Annual Return filed at Companies House.
