Taxation
Dividends on A shares will be subject to the deduction of Netherlands dividend

circumstances.
Shareholders resident in the United Kingdom, receiving dividends on B shares
through the Dividend Access Mechanism, are entitled to a tax credit. This tax
credit is not repayable. Non-residents may also be entitled to a tax credit, if
double tax arrangements between the United Kingdom and their country of
residence so provide, or if they are eligible for relief given to non-residents
with certain special connections with the United Kingdom or to nationals of
states in the European Economic Area.
The amount of tax credit is 10/90ths of the cash dividend, the tax credit
referable to the third quarter 2008 interim dividend of US$0.40 (24.54p or
€0.3113) is US$0.04 (2.73p or €0.0346) per ordinary share and the dividend and
tax credit together amount to US$0.44 (27.27p or €0.3459).


Dividend reinvestment plan
ABN AMRO Bank NV and Equiniti (formerly known as Lloyds TSB Registrars) each
have established a dividend reinvestment facility which enables RDS shareholders
to elect to have their dividend payments used to purchase  RDS shares of the
same class as those already held by them. The dividend reinvestment plans (the
“DRIPs”) are provided by ABN AMRO Bank NV in respect of shares held through
Euroclear Nederland and by Equiniti in respect of all other shares (but not
ADRs). DRIPs for the ADRs (both Class A ADRs and Class B ADRs) traded on the
NYSE are available through The Bank of New York Mellon.
Enquiries about the DRIPs, including how to elect to participate and information
about the reinvestment mechanisms under the respective plans should, in the case
of shareholders holding through Euroclear Nederland, be directed to their bank
or broker and in the case of all other shareholders (other than holders of ADRs)
to Equiniti. Enquiries relating to the DRIPs for ADRs (both Class A ADRs and
Class B ADRs) should be made to The Bank of New York Mellon.
