Form 6-K Royal Dutch Shell plc For: Oct 30

ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC THIRD QUARTER 2014 INTERIM DIVIDEND 

The Board of Royal Dutch Shell plc (RDS) today announced an interim dividend
in respect of the third quarter of 2014 of US$0.47 per A ordinary share (A
Share) and B ordinary share (B Share), an increase of US$ 0.02 on the
equivalent US dollar dividend for the same quarter last year. 
On May 22, 2014 RDS announced the cancellation of its Scrip Dividend Programme
with effect from the second quarter 2014 Interim dividend onwards. The
cancellation means that dividends will be settled entirely in cash, rather than
offering a share-based alternative.  For further details please refer to
www.shell.com/scrip.

Details relating to the third quarter 2014 interim dividend
It is expected that cash dividends on the B Shares will be paid via the Dividend
Access Mechanism from UK-sourced income of the Shell Group.

Note 1
The London Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam, with effect from October 6,
2014 reduced the standard settlement cycle in accordance with the Regulation of
the European Parliament and of the Council on improving securities settlement in
the European Union and on central securities depositories (CSDs) and amending
Directive 98/26/EC (the CSD Regulation). This CSD Regulation aims to harmonise
EU securities settlement cycles towards a T + 2 cycle. As a result, RDS A shares
and RDS B shares traded on these markets will now settle one day quicker than
the RDS A ADSs and RDS B ADSs traded in the United States. Record dates will not
change. The timings of these are detailed above.

Note 2
A different currency election date may apply to shareholders holding shares in a
securities account with a bank or financial institution ultimately holding
through Euroclear Nederland.  Please contact your broker, financial
intermediary, bank or financial institution where you hold your securities
account for the election deadline that applies. 

Taxation cash dividends
Cash dividends on A Shares will be subject to the deduction of Netherlands
dividend withholding tax at the rate of 15%, which may be reduced in certain
circumstances. Provided certain conditions are met, shareholders in receipt of A
Share cash dividends may also be entitled to a non-payable dividend tax credit
in the United Kingdom.
Shareholders resident in the United Kingdom, receiving cash 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 2014 interim dividend of US$0.47 is US$0.05 per
ordinary share and the dividend and tax credit together amount to US$0.52. The
pounds sterling and euro equivalents will be announced on December 5, 2014.

Dividend reinvestment plan
Equiniti and ABN AMRO Bank N.V.  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 N.V. in
respect of shares held through Euroclear Nederland and by Equiniti in respect of
all other shares (but not ADSs). DRIPs for the ADSs (both Class A ADSs and Class
B ADSs) 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 ADSs)
to Equiniti. Enquiries relating to the DRIPs for ADSs (both Class A ADSs and
Class B ADSs) should be made to The Bank of New York Mellon.
