The Coca-Cola Company (KO) is a Dividend King with over 60 consecutive years of dividend increases, one of the longest streaks of any public company. For Canadian investors, Coca-Cola dividends are U.S.-source foreign income subject to 15% withholding tax in non-registered and TFSA accounts, but exempt from withholding in an RRSP under the Canada-U.S. tax treaty.
Canadian Planning Notes
- 1RRSP placement eliminates the 15% U.S. withholding tax on KO dividends; TFSA and non-registered accounts both incur the 15% withholding.
- 2KO is denominated in USD; plan CAD-equivalent income using a conservative exchange rate assumption, as the CAD/USD rate directly affects your received income.
- 3Coca-Cola's 60+ year dividend growth streak is among the most durable in global equity markets; verify the current payout ratio and free-cash-flow coverage.
