I dont do the personal tax nor accounts, just the bookkeeping and some PA work for a couple of connected companies.
There are two companies, both have same two shareholders 50% each. Just got their tax returns from Accountant which show divis from UK companies (ie theirs) at £28750 for 2013/14 tax year.
Divis in both company's accounts show as:-
2012 £34k
2013 £114.5k
2014 £129k
Year end is May.
My question is - where does the £28750 come from? It just looks wrong. Shouldnt it be £57250 on each from the 2013 accounts?
Just out of interest really!

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.
You should check out answers with reference to the legal position
Dividends will be entered on the tax returns according to the dates that they have been paid. So I suspect if you knew those dates then you would be able to tie them up with the tax year.
