Dividend tax rate
In India, dividend tax is imposed on income earned from company dividends. The Finance Act 2020 changed the obligation for tax payment on dividends, placing it on shareholders rather than companies. Dividends are taxed according to the individual’s relevant income tax slab rates. Non-residents are taxed at a 20% rate, though they may receive relief under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs). Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is applicable to dividend payments that exceed ₹5,000.
