Share dividends!
Permalink Closed


Hi guys,

I was just wondering if share dividends need to be grossed up for the purposes of a tax return please? When calculating the tax that is due, do I include the gross amount of share dividend - for the tax band the person is currently in? Or do I leave it out?

Thanks very much,

Tom.

The net figure is to be used. You do not calculate the tax for the form.

Thanks very much indeed.

If the net figure for share dividend is used, then why do I include the gross figure for bank interest?

If I want to work out what income tax bracket the person falls into, would I include into my calculations the net figures for both share divs and bank interest or the gross figures?

Thanks again! This is really confusing me.

Tom.

On the SA forms, you only put the net figures for both interest and dividends.

If you are working out the tax bracket for someone, use the gross figure added to all their incomes less the annual allowance. I must say they must have a huge interest/dividend income to make much difference though.....

Thank you for your help. I've put the net for both, and that makes sense.

It doesn't make a huge difference, but it's enough to change things very slightly as they are only just into the 40% tax bracket. Thanks very much for your help, it's much appreciated.

Totally inappropriate - its SPAM!   Building certain English grammar skills are a necessity!
