Dividends Tax

Dividends tax is a tax levied on the shareholder at a rate of 20% on dividends paid. However, where a dividend in specie is paid, dividends tax is a tax levied on the company declaring the dividend. Dividends tax is normally withheld by the company paying the dividend and is payable at the end of the month following the month in which the dividend was paid. The repayment of contributed tax capital by a company would be regarded as a return of capital and not subject to dividends tax.
