Give u an example, the figures are not realistic, just to illustrate the principle of imputation
ABC Berhad profit before tax RM100
Pays tax RM20 (20%)
Pays out RM80 as NET dividend to shareholder, Mr Bintang Malam
Mr Bintang Malam receives RM80 dividend, the RM20 tax is IMPUTED to him
Declares GROSS dividend of RM100 in his income tax submission
Mr BM's tax rate is 10%, tax on dividend is RM100 x 10% = RM10
He will receive refund of RM10 from government
But nowadays more and more divvies are single-tier tax exempt already
Next year no more imputation (Section 108)
So, divvy or not does not matter anymore
