Tax's must be paid on dividends received. Tax's are withheld until dividends are paid. It is the responsibility of the equity holder to pay the tax's on dividends received. If you sell your position before the dividends are issued you are still intitlled to the dividends kept on the books from the date of issue too the date of transfer.

If you sell your position you can take the loss and apply it too the issued dividends. This is often done for you by the company itself.

Let's say you have a dividend coming of a $100 dollars and you have a loss of $200 that puts you in a negative tax position after the issuing of the dividends. So you will get the full amount of the dividends allotted.

Now if you sold the issued shares for more then you paid it would be the $100 dollars plus the net profits from your equity minus 50% for tax's. So you would only recieve $ 25.


Now imagine a fellow who has traded to where he had a gain of a $150. Well as you can see he now will owe $25.

Now let's put the companies trading into the picture. From the numbers and our explanation of the entent of the meaning of those numbers you can see how the treasury stock bill got so high along with the outstanding share count.

Good luck stay tuned for more. Please do all DD checks on any information given here or elsewhere on the World Wide Web.
