DIVIDENDS AND TAX
Fractional shares?
When you reinvest dividends can you get fractional shares with them or do you have to wait until you get enough dividends to purchase a whole share?

Hi Gabbi.
Great question. In Australia, the excess money that is leftover after a dividend reinvestment (where there’s not enough for a whole share), is typically put aside until there is enough for a whole share to be acquired.
Some people don’t mind this. But other people find this annoying. If that’s the case, you could always switch to receiving the dividends to your bank account and add that money towards your next purchase :)
Hope that helps.
Dave
