Because local source tax is zero, no Foreign Tax Credit Relief (FTCR) is available to offset UK tax liabilities. For UK corporate entities, dividends do not qualify for the 0.00% individual exemption and are instead taxed at treaty-capped rates of 15.00% (for holdings under 10% voting control) or 5.00% (for direct corporate holdings of 10% or more) under Article 10 of the UK-Zambia Double Taxation Agreement.Investors should note that ordinary dividends are approved by corporate boards based on net earnings and cash requirements; past dividends do not constitute a fixed yield guarantee, and foreign returns remain exposed to Zambian Kwacha (ZMW) exchange rate movements
