Today I received a brown letter from the tax office in my letterbox. 📬

On Friday the 13th... oh dear...

But contrary to the bad fears due to the date, an unexpected windfall of money from the overpaid taxes came back into the house.

The "play money" was divided among the adults. 💁🏻‍♂️💁‍♀️

While the wife was thinking about beauty 💇‍♀️ , 🦷 or a handbag 👝, my part was bought in $OMV (+1,22 %) at a price of [€36.66]. The low current share price and the stable dividend were the reason for the purchase.

This added a European company to the portfolio. This means that one of the largest (if not the largest) stock corporations in Austria has become part of the portfolio.

The 27.5% withholding tax does indeed reduce the appetite for dividends, but at least not all the money is only invested in 🇺🇸 or Germany 🇩🇪. So I will learn how the withholding tax from Austria 🇦🇹 works. I wish $OMV (+1,22 %) and all my fellow shareholders a stable share price and hopefully demand for fossil fuels for a long time to come. ⛽️ 🚢
