How dividends work for Marks & Spencer shareholders
As a UK-listed company, Marks & Spencer sets its own dividend calendar: the board declares a dividend, then sets an ex-dividend date (the cut-off for being on the share register to receive it) and a later payment date.
For most individual investors, the UK does not withhold tax on dividends paid by a UK company like Marks & Spencer — any tax owed is usually handled separately through the investor's own tax return, not deducted at source. This is general context, not tax advice for your specific situation.

Glossary: terms on this page
Dividend
A cash payment a company makes to its shareholders, usually out of profit, decided by its board of directors.
Ex-dividend date
The cut-off date: you need to hold the share before this date to receive the upcoming dividend. Buying on or after it means the seller, not you, gets that payment.
Payment date
The date the dividend cash actually reaches shareholders, typically some weeks after the record date.
Withholding tax on dividends
Tax deducted at source before a dividend reaches the shareholder. Most UK companies do not withhold tax on dividends paid to shareholders — this is general context, not tax advice.
