Some major companies give their preferred and common shareholders the option of participating in an automatic dividend reinvestment plan. In such a plan, the company diverts the shareholders' dividends to the purchase of additional shares of the company. Reinvested dividends are taxable to the shareholder as ordinary cash dividends even though the dividends are not received as cash.

CONT

Certaines grandes compagnies donnent à leurs actionnaires ordinaires et privilégiés la possibilité de participer à un plan de réinvestissement des dividendes par lequel la société affecte les dividendes de chaque actionnaire à l'achat d'actions additionnelles. Ces dividendes réinvestis sont imposables comme les dividendes en espèces, même si l'actionnaire ne les touche pas réellement.
