Hello Community Users, When dealing with corporation tax and dividends we'd recommend confirming with an accountant how best to calculate this.

A corporation pays income taxes on earnings, total earnings

 

then if a dividend is declared, that amount is paid per share to the stockholders.  The stockholders will report those dividends and pay income taxes on them - but the corporation does not incur any income taxes on the payment.  The payment is from earnings which is being taxed at the corporate level.

 

The final word on this should come from your tax accountant
