ZIM Integrated Shipping Services has issued updated instructions for shareholders ahead of its cash dividend scheduled for December 8, 2025. The company confirmed that the Israeli Tax Authority’s previously granted ruling on withholding procedures will apply to this payment.
According to ZIM, the ruling allows eligible shareholders to benefit from a reduced Israeli withholding tax rate, provided they meet the conditions set out by the tax authority. These procedures relate only to the withholding on this specific dividend and do not determine shareholders’ overall tax liability.
ZIM stressed that shareholders should consult their own tax or financial advisors to understand how the rules apply to their individual situation and to any tax obligations outside Israel. The company also noted that, aside from the dividend payable on December 8, 2025, there is no guarantee that future dividends will be declared.
To support the process, ZIM has appointed IBI Trust Management to handle documentation required under the tax ruling. The agent’s role is administrative only and does not include providing tax advice. Shareholders must submit the correct forms to the agent if they wish to apply for the reduced withholding rate.
All required forms are available through the link provided in the advisory and on ZIM’s website.
