## Tax Information 

## Dividends and Capital Gains on Your BCE Shares 

BCE common shareholders are required to pay tax on dividends as well as any capital gains they realize when they sell their shares or are deemed to have sold them. If you received Nortel Networks common shares in May 2000, you should contact the Investor Relations group to learn more on the tax implications of the BCE/Nortel Plan of Arrangement or visit www.bce.ca . 

## Foreign Investors 

Dividends on BCE shares paid or credited to nonresidents of Canada are subject to a 25% withholding tax unless reduced by treaty. Under current tax treaties, U.S. and U.K. resi- dents are subject to a 15% withholding tax. 

## U.S. Investors 

BCE is required to solicit taxpayer identi- fication numbers (TIN) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-9 certifications of resi- dency from certain U.S. investors. Where these have not been received, BCE may be required to deduct the IRS’ specified backup with- holding tax. The backup withholding rate on dividends is currently 28%. Shareholders who did not provide their TIN and W-9 certifi- cation of residency and had the backup with- holding tax applied on their dividends can obtain a refund or credit against their U.S. federal income tax through the filing of their income tax return the following year. 

Under the Jobs and Growth Tax Recon- ciliation Act of 2003, dividends paid to U.S. individuals by most U.S. public companies and qualifying foreign corporations, includ- ing public Canadian companies such as BCE whose shares are readily tradable on a U.S. stock exchange (e.g., the New York Stock Exchange), will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a maximum rate of 15% (or 5% for those in the lowest tax brackets), so long as certain conditions are met. 

For additional information, please contact your tax advisor.
