Dividend Distribution Tax calculation methodology from October 2014

As per Finance Act 2014,  we wish to inform you that there is a change in the methodology of calculating Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) for non-equity oriented mutual fund schemes w.e.f. October 1, 2014.

 

The change is in the DDT calculation methodology; which we have tried to simplify for better understanding.

 

·         DDT rate was being applied on the net dividend payout 

·         Effective October 1, 2014, as per Finance Act 2014, only DDT rate should be grossed up for deriving the DDT amount. The surcharge and education cess would then be derived from the DDT amount

·         Due to the change in DDT calculation methodology , there would be a slight fall in the dividend payout from non-equity oriented mutual fund schemes, on account of higher DDT amount being deducted as shown in the below illustration

 

Illustration for DDT calculation

 

 

DDT for Individuals/HUF @ 25%

DDT for investors other than Individual/HUF @ 30%
