Dividend income

The tax treatment will be as follows: 

Normal dividends: Dividends are received net of tax by individual shareholders. The gross amount of the dividend is declared in the tax return. 

A Section 110 tax credit (27%) can be claimed against the income tax suffered on the dividend income. If a resident individual's marginal tax rate is lower than 27%, the excess tax credit can either be refunded or used to set off against the tax payable on other sources of income. 

Tax exempt and foreign dividends: These dividends are exempted from income tax and need not be declared in the tax return. 

Expenses which are deductible against the dividend income are:

# Commission or brokerage fee; 

# Stamp duty on transfer of shares; and 

# Interest on loan obtained to purchase the shares. 
Sorry, I've 1 question regarding this dividend taxation. I've invested in mutual funds and they declared distribution during 2007. I chose to re-invest them and I received the tax voucher. There are several columns in the voucher there, which column is my taxed amount, and which column I should add into my form when filing my borang? THanksss.

p/s: I'd like to claim back my portion of taxed amount, as my tax bracket is small compare to 27/8% ..
