Dividend Imputation

外汇网2021-06-19 14:31:44 50

An arrangement in Australia that eliminates the double taxation of pidends.

Double taxation of pidends occurs when both a company and a shareholder pay tax on the same income. The company pays taxes on profits and subsequently distributes a pidend out of their after-tax profits. Shareholders must then pay tax on the pidend received.

The tax imputations indicate to the government that the company issuing the pidend has already paid a portion of the tax due. The shareholder is able to reduce the tax paid on the pidend by the amount of the tax imputation credits.
