dividends is calculated pretty much the same way as tax on any other income.<\/p><p>The biggest difference is the tax rates &#8211; instead of the usual 20%, 40%, 45% (depending on your tax band), you&#8217;ll be taxed at 8.75%, 33.75%, and 39.35%.<\/p><p>The numbers look strange but the reason is simple: the company paying you those dividends already paid corporate tax, so you&#8217;re paying the difference.<\/p><p>This is mostly relevant if you own your company and you&#8217;re trying to decide the best way to pay yourself: dividends or salary.

A dividend is a payment a limited company makes to share their profits with its stockholders. But not all stocks pay you dividends. Only dividend stocks will pay dividends &#8211; which probably seems obvious but it\u2019s an easy mistake to make when you\u2019re just starting out as an investor!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a look at the five types of dividend that you can get:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cash dividends (these are the most common type)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stock dividends<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dividend Reinvestment Programmes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Special Dividends<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preferred dividends<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tax in 10(ish) seconds - What are dividends?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rmSTq5Lophw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is dividend income?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dividend income is similar to savings interest paid out by a bank. When you buy a limited company\u2019s stocks, they can reward you with dividends when they make a profit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the tax benefits?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dividends can be a very tax-efficient investment. By this, we mean you can earn more money because you owe less tax. Be aware though that being tax-efficient is not the same as tax evasion. Tax evasion is illegally avoiding paying tax that you owe. Tax efficiency is paying the lowest amount of tax on your profits by taking advantage of tax-free allowances and low-tax financial tools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see from the calculations above, the rate at which you\u2019re taxed on dividends is lower than the standard income tax rates. You also don\u2019t have to pay National Insurance on profits made through dividends. This is because the business you\u2019ve invested in has already paid <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/glossary\/company-tax\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corporation Tax<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on their profits, so the dividend tax rates are the difference between Income Tax and Corporation Tax rates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result of the better rates, you can earn more money on the same investment through the lower tax liability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the dividend allowance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can earn up to \u00a3500 in dividends before you have to pay tax on them. Anything above \u00a3500 and you have to declare your earnings and file a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/tax-on-dividends\">tax return<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">additional rate taxpayer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; what do I pay?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you earn over \u00a3125,140 or more across all sources of income, you pay 39.35% tax on the dividends you earn over \u00a3500 per tax year. You should pay this via a Self Assessment by 31st January following the end of the tax year you earned them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not done a Self Assessment tax return before?
