13.33p per share, to be more precise.
For full-timers, that equates to 729 x 13.33p = £97.17

Nobody knows how much yet because the performance figures haven't been announced yet. They are supposed to be released in May.

I think it's already been mentioned on here that we shouldn't be paying tax on the dividends, but here is the HMRC link that explains in detail:
