Want To Maximize Royal Dutch Shell Dividend Income? Here's What You Buy

Markets
I cover commodities, mostly oil & gas, often debunking risk premiums.
As an individual investor, if you seek shares of a blue chip oil and gas company and are after regular dividend income, then Royal Dutch Shell ought to be at or near the top of your list. The Anglo-Dutch company has not missed a dividend payment since the end of World War II, and has been a preferred stock for many investment managers and trusts for decades.
In June, using a benchmarking combination of sales, profits, assets, and market value, Forbes ranked Shell (at 11th) above ExxonMobil (at 13th) in the publication’s Global 2000 list of the world’s largest companies for 2018.
As is often the case for a company of Shell’s size, it has a dual listing, i.e. its stock is traded on stock exchanges in different countries. The practice is quite common, and price of the stock on secondary exchanges closely follows the primary listing – which in Shell’s case is on the London Stock Exchange – followed by Amsterdam and New York stock exchanges.

If you have decided to hold Shell’s shares among your dividend yielding stocks, it can be mighty confusing which exchange to go for. It is easy to think that exchanges don’t matter as shares often have similar voting rights. The declared dividend is universal with the payout subject to foreign exchange fluctuations.
While such an assumption is correct, it misses one key point – the dividend withholding tax rate – which is different in every country and would have a bearing on your income. In Shell’s case, the company’s ‘A’ shares (LON:RDSA) are listed on the AEX/Euronext in the Netherlands, and the ‘B’ shares (LON:RDSB) are listed on the London Stock Exchange in the U.K.
The latter share group is the oil major’s primary listing, but both sets of shares are available via London. They also give Shell the status of a FTSE 100 company; the coveted benchmark for the largest London-listed companies.
As per the norm, both ‘A’ and ‘B’ share have same voting rights, stake-holding level and dividends that you’d come to expect. But for U.K. and global investors in general, excluding U.S. investors, it would make better sense to acquire ‘B’ shares, as ‘A’ shares are tied to the Dutch tax system that sees dividends paid out to non-European Union (E.U.) residents minus a withholding tax of 15%.
On the contrary, London-listed ‘B’ shares have no withholding tax applied to the dividend payout thereby putting the full dividend amount (by shares held) into the holder’s coffers.
