Reply to comment by Unknownirish in Tax offset on paid dividends by bnabin51

That's only possible if he owns the shares on the ex dividend date. An option is not share ownership.

If he bought a put and was assigned he would own the stock. If he then held the stock through the ex-dividend date then he would get the dividends. However, this is not how I read OP's post.
