Are dividends fixed?
A dividend is a payment made by a company to its shareholders in return for their investment. If a company is successful, it can distribute a portion of its profits to its shareholders in the form of a dividend. Any money that isn’t dispersed is reinvested in the company (called retained earnings). Dividends can be paid out of either the current year’s profit or the retained earnings from past years. Generally, a corporation cannot pay a dividend from its capital. Alternatively, if the company has a dividend reinvestment plan in place, the dividend can be paid to shareholders by issuing additional shares or repurchasing existing shares. Assets may be distributed in some instances.
The dividends received by a shareholder may be taxed as a form of income (see dividend tax). There is a wide variation in how this income is taxed in different jurisdictions. Dividends paid by a corporation are not tax deductible.
Dividends are paid out based on the number of shares held by each shareholder, with each getting a defined amount. Investors’ morale can be boosted by dividends, which are a reliable source of income. Paying dividends isn’t an expense for a joint stock firm; rather, it’s a way for shareholders to split up profits after taxes. Similarly to the company’s issued share capital, retained earnings (profits that have not been dispersed as dividends) are included in the shareholders’ equity portion of its balance sheet. It’s common for public corporations to pay dividends on a regular basis, but they can also issue a “special dividend” to differentiate it from the regular payments. A pre-tax expense for cooperative dividends is common because they are distributed based on the activity of their members.
It is from the Latin word “dividendum” that we get our English term “dividend” (“thing to be divided”).
