Labour's ingenious juggling act
Article Abstract:
United Kingdom dividend tax credits were affected by the Jul 1997 Budget. This does not affect individual stock holders until 1999. Pension funds will not be able to reclaim advance corporation tax (ACT) refunds and holders of personal pension schemes will be affected. The tax system operated on the principle that companies paid ACT which represented tax due on dividends by individuals. This changed in Jul 1997 and ACT has become a tax paid by companies while individuals' tax is a separate issue.
