March 2016 dividend income report

Another month flew by so it’s time for the dividend income report!

This month I received six dividend payments:

• Unilever: 15.88EUR
• Hershey: 5.53EUR
• McDonalds: 5.02EUR
• Novo Nordisk: 16.02EUR
• Royal Dutch Shell: 43.45EUR
• BHP Billiton: 5.31EUR

As usual, all figures are after taxes. In total that’s 91.21EUR for the month of March. This month’s dividend income should have been a bit higher as it’s missing a partial payment from Royal Dutch Shell.

I own both London-listed and Amsterdam-listed RDSB shares, the dividend from the Amsterdam-listed shares always hits my account on time but for some reason my broker rarely receives the dividend of the London-listed share on time. There’s usually a delay of 3-5 days so part of the Royal Dutch Shell payment will be part of next month’s dividend income report.

Next month is shaping up to be a pretty big month in terms of dividend income, especially because GSK is paying out almost double as much as usual thanks to a special dividend.
