Dear Friends,
A Private Ltd. company declares Dividend. It also pays Dividend distribution tax.
IS the amount of Dividend received is exempt in the hands of shareholder or Taxable in the hands of shareholder?
EVen if 2(22)(e) is applicable is the dividend taxable or exempt in the books of shareholders ?
Please reply

IF the company pays DDT then it is not taxable in the hands of Share holders. How can we tax twice on the same income.
So shareholder need not pay tax
Yes it is exempt in the hand of shareholders u/s 10(34)

agree....with it
IF DDT Is paid, then such dividend is exempt in the hands of the ShareHolders.
However, if a payment is deemed as Dividend u/s 2(22)(e), then
1. DDT is not applicable under 115O
2. COnsequently, it is taxable in the hands of the shareholders
3. Also, the company is liable to deduct tax on such deemed dividend.

What is the tax rate of deemed dividend taxable under section 2(22)(e)?
Hello
Deemed Dividend is taxed under the head Income from Other Sources U/s 56 is taxable in the hands of shareholder (Not in the hands of loaned company). Also Deemed Dividend u/s 2(22) (e) is not exempt u/s 10(33) of the Income Tax Act. No special rate of tax is applicable to deemed dividend and it is taxed as income chargeable to tax at normal rates – slab rates in case of individuals & HUF’s.
