In line with the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, China Mobile will withhold a 10 % enterprise income tax from the 2025 final dividend paid to non-resident enterprise shareholders whose names appear on the register as of 11 June 2026. Natural-person investors are not subject to this withholding. Holders who qualify as PRC resident enterprises and wish to be exempt must submit valid tax-authority documentation to Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited no later than 8 June 2026.
Investors accessing the company through Shanghai-Hong Kong or Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect will receive the dividend via HKSCC after the 10 % enterprise income tax has been deducted.
