Fair enough they calculate daily interest on savings and mortgages but probably not motivated to with fees. $250 per annum for flexible finance doesn't seem too bad to me.
It would be ASB Securities deducting the tax and filing it with IRD on our behalf. I think Australia has been blocking mutually recognising Imputation and Franking credits between the two countries which would be a good increase in our Aussie dividends if it ever happened.

We aren't paying extra tax, we are just paying it early. The net (after franking credit) aussie dividend still needs to be declared as income it just that ASB Securities has already paid the tax on our behalf. If your income is less than $70,000 per annum you should get some back. Have had a couple of copies of dividend cheques in the post so it will be interesting to see what gets deposited and what notification regarding the tax deducted we will get. For some reason I can't see my Aussie dollar account online so have to wait for intermittent statements.
CGT would have been another tax but only on any capital gain.
