The text of the 2000-2001 edition of the popular Australian Dividend Handbook and Contact Directory has been updated to reflect the many tax changes of recent times, including those flowing from the Ralph Review of Business Taxation.

The directory information giving contact details of listed companies and their share registrars has also been greatly expanded, so as to make the work a particularly useful reference tool.

The Handbook sets out the dividend declarations and franking ratios for 1999-2000 for all listed companies. It describes the dividend reinvestment plans and shareholder discount schemes for major companies.

A Glossary is included.

The author regrets that further editions of this valuable Handbook now seem most unlikely. Despite substantial user demand none of several publishers with whom the matter has been discussed has shown any real desire to produce a new edition.

The author apologises to the many readers who have contacted him and to whom he gave assurances in good faith that a new edition was imminent.

Updated versions of some of the tables have, however, been included in the author's Income Tax and Investment.
