They are exempt from [[stamp duty]] and dealing charges and are cheaper for the issuer, since it can hang onto the cash within its business. | ||
Scrip | holders can sell [[scrip dividend]]s in the market and there is a fungame to be had playing the implied [[optionality]] between the scrip and cash after the dividend has been declared but before it is paid. | ||
[[Scrip dividend]]s are taxed in the same way as cash dividends. | |||
