tax treatment divi18 Aug 2022 11:18
Thankyou for your previous varied answers, now time has passed do we know for SURE if the special divi cap distribution is treated as income or capital.
You peeps saying you hold large quantities of shares, you could lose £50,000 as the price has decreased from 40p to 2p, then you could receive the divi and give back 40% of it to revenue as divi tax, so a further loss.
if the special divi was treated as capital it could be set against 12k capital allowance, and against any losses, or held to set against future losses.. so I hope somehow this will be treated a capital distribution not divi income.
Im no an accountant so appreciate the real situation from someone who knows more than me.
.. with other companies rns comes out clearly setting this straight....
amc rns could be read either way.
With the new amc will the directors hold on to their present salaries.
