Methodology
Direct answer: two countries with similar headline dividend tax rates can still produce materially different net results once allowances and layered surcharges are applied.
According to national tax authority publications (IRS, HMRC, BZSt, CRA, ATO, and equivalents), dividend taxation frequently differs by filing status, allowance thresholds, and residency rules.
Methodology formulas
- Taxable dividend = max(0, gross dividend - allowance).
- Base tax = taxable dividend * base dividend tax rate.
- Surcharge tax = sum(base tax * surcharge rates), when applicable.
- Net dividend = gross dividend - total tax.
