Movement from cheques to EFT has changed dividend tax?

    In the old days I use to receive dividends by cheque, and all was well.

    But now with Goodbody.ie the dividends are instead put into my "cash account" online. So I have gone for 2 years without actually "enjoying them" they are in limbo. Does this mean I am not liable (at the moment) for tax on these dividence? i.e. is it only when I transfer them to my real-world bank account that the Revenue need to know?

    What kind of shares are you talking about? Tax may be deducted at source.

    Irish 'Encashment' Tax is 20% with Davy.

    Income is declared the year you earn it.

    Where the income is sitting / spent / saved, is not relevant.
