09 August 2010 Dear Sir,
My client is a pvt. ltd. co having less than one crore income & wants to declare dividend ?
what is the rate of dividend distributed tax to be paid by this company.
I feel it is 15% for the A.Y. 10-11 but whether Surcharge & Edn. Cess applicable ? if yes what is rate ? please give seperately as well as cumulative rate of tax.
Thanks

09 August 2010 Surcharge applicable. It does not depend on income.

Education cess also leviable.


09 August 2010 Dividend distributed by an Indian Company is exempt from income-tax in the hands of many shareholders. The Indian Company is liable to pay Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) @ 16.609 percent (i.e. inclusive of surcharge and education cess) on such dividends

09 August 2010 YES IT IS 15%
SURCHARGE 7.5%

EDU CESS 2%
SHE CESS 1%

CUMULATIVE 16.609%

09 August 2010 Rate Tax 15 + Surcharge 1.125 + EC .48375 = 16.60875

09 August 2010 DDT including surcharge & edu cess is 16.61 % & This rate is for domestic i.e Indian company

10 August 2010 Please clarify regarding the DDT if the dividend declared & paid in the Financial year 10-11 for the year ended 31.03.2010. whether surcharge is 7.5% or 10%

10 August 2010 For F. Y. 2010 - 11 surcharge 7.5% even if relates to y. e. 31.03.2010.

10 August 2010 10% As the dividend relates to Financial Year 2009-10.

10 August 2010 Rate at the time of distribution is to be considered.
