Are dividends fixed?
A dividend is a share of a company’s profits given to shareholders. It is possible for a corporation to pay out a portion of its profits to shareholders when it makes a profit or surplus. Amounts that aren’t distributed are reinvested into the company (called retained earnings). Generally, a corporation cannot pay a dividend out of its capital unless it has a current-year profit and previous-year retained earnings available for distribution. Dividend payments to shareholders can be made in the form of cash (often in the form of a bank account deposit) or in the form of additional shares or a share repurchase if the company has a dividend reinvestment plan. 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 countries. There is no tax deduction for the dividends paid by the corporation.
As a result, owners receive a dividend in proportion to the amount of stock they own. Dividends can be a reliable source of revenue for shareholders, as well as a boost to their morale. In a joint stock corporation, dividends are not an expense but rather a way for shareholders to partake in the firm’s after-tax earnings. 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. Public corporations typically pay dividends on a regular basis, but they can also issue a “special dividend” at any moment to distinguish it from regular payouts. When it comes to cooperative dividends, they are often regarded pre-tax expenses because they are distributed based on the activities of their members.
The Latin term for “dividend” is “dividendum” (“thing to be divided”).
