Tax Legislation – Franking Credits
-
As previously highlighted the Federal Government was considering retrospective legislation to prevent Investment Companies claiming the lower company tax rate – this has now been legislated.
-
The last two final dividends, paid in August 2017 and August 2018, were franked using the corporate tax rate of 27.5% (being the legislated tax rate at that time).
-
Following the passing of this legislation, the corporate tax rate used to determine the franking credit for these two dividends will now be 30%.
-
Revised dividend statements were sent to shareholders on 21 September 2018
-
What does it mean for franking credits? – assuming a dividend of $100:
-
previous dividend with franking credits at 27.5% of $37.93 will be replaced.
-
new statement showing dividend of $100 with franking credits at 30% of $42.86.
-
does not change shares issued under DRP or cash payment.

Annual General Meeting 2018

AMCIL’s Approach
Focused portfolio covering large and small companies.
Our size means small companies can have an equally important impact on portfolio returns as large ones.
