Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[Tim Lamb]

Hi Zeev:

In general most dividends received by a US corporation have an effective Federal income tax rate of 10.5%. There is a 70% exclusion from income. Example 100 dividend, less 70% is 30 times the 35% tax rate.

Interest income has no such exclusion.

Never a simple answer and there are exceptions to the above.
