That is the first time I have heard of a corporate tax deduction for dividends paid to individuals. I am skeptical.

Axel: Are you perhaps referring to the 85% dividend exclusion corporation get for dividends they RECEIVErather than a DEDUCTION that the paying corporation may take on dividends they pay to shareholders? If you are referring to a credit or deduction that the PAYING corporation may take on dividends paid could you elaborate a bit. Respectfully, Bob Axel's prior message: <<Yes, I am saying that corporations do get a credit for dividends. The understanding you cite, which is the common understanding, is inaccurate. Unfortunately the credit is not 100%, so there is some double taxation, but it is not as much as most people think.>>
