Dividends is now available as a beta feature. If you would like access to test it, contact us at [email protected] and we will activate it for your company or group account. Since this is a beta version, some parts of the functionality may still be under development.
With Dividends, you can register dividend events directly in the share ledger. This ensures that calculations are always based on the actual ownership recorded at the time of the dividend. It helps you feel confident that the dividend is correct and that everything is logged in the proper order in the share ledger.
When you create a dividend, the system automatically calculates how much each shareholder should receive, whether the event takes place today or at an earlier date. Unlike other share ledger events, dividends do not need to follow the chronological order in the ledger. The reason is that dividends do not affect the ledger itself, the calculation is always based on the ownership structure at the specific date you enter. The system automatically takes into account any ownership changes and allocates the correct amount to the right shareholder at the dividend date.
This gives you a fast, secure, and transparent process, without the risk of manual errors. This is particularly valuable for:
Accounting firms: ability to manage dividends for many client companies under one roof.
Partner-owned companies (e.g. law firms): smooth handling of many recurring partner distributions.
Companies with extensive dividend activity: automation reduces the risk of errors and saves time with large volumes.
What’s coming next?
Over the coming months we plan to add:
Automatically generated reports for Skatteverket (18a and KU31)
Export and direct submission of reports
A refined interface and support for more advanced dividend scenarios
A dedicated view for dividends at company, accounting firm, and corporate group levels
Ability for shareholders to see their dividends directly in the custody account service
How to register a dividend
Click “New event” in the left-hand menu and select “Dividend”.
Set the date for entry in the share ledger and enter the total dividend amount. You can also add a note or attach a file if needed. Click “Finalize” when you’re done.
Under Share ledger events, the dividend will now appear with both a summary and an overview of all recipients. The system has automatically calculated the dividend for each shareholder based on the ledger at the specified date.
Open the dividend event row in Share ledger events to see all recipients and how much each shareholder is set to receive.
Correcting a dividend
For calculations to be correct, the share ledger must always be up to date. If something still went wrong, you can remove the dividend, make the necessary changes, and then register it again:
1. Go to Share ledger events
2. Click on the dividend row
3. Select “Delete”
Only the current dividend will be removed. Unlike other share ledger events, later registered events are not affected.
