How a NEPSE dividend is worked out
A dividend in Nepal is announced as a percentage of the share’s face value, which for almost every listed company is Rs 100 — not the market price. A “10% cash dividend” therefore pays Rs 10 per share whether the share trades at Rs 400 or Rs 900. If you hold 100 shares, that is Rs 1,000 gross.
A bonus share percentage works the same way but is paid in shares rather than cash: 20% on 100 shares gives you 20 new shares, taking you to 120. Bonus shares are taxed the same as cash, which is why companies often announce a combined “10% cash and 20% bonus” figure.
Tax. A resident individual pays 5% dividend tax, and it is deducted at source before the money reaches you — so the Rs 950 above is what actually lands, not the Rs 1,000 headline. Non-resident shareholders are taxed at a higher rate, and the company settles that before crediting.
Indicative only. Announced dividends need AGM approval and are usually paid in the months after, and the exact tax depends on your residency status and whether the payment clears through a Nepali broker account.
