Dividend tax credit - am I going mad?

Posted by dbowleracca PM | on Mon, 28/11/2011 - 22:59  3742  13 comments | report

I completed a tax return today with the following entries on:

Salary 6,000
Dividends 55,000 (gross)
Qualifying loan interest expense (10,000)
STI 51,000
Personal allowance (6,475)
Taxable income 44,525

The software calculated the tax borne correctly, but then only allowed around 4,400 of the dividend tax credit to be relieved against the liability!

Am I correct to assume this is a glitch and that the full 5,500 should be deducted to arrive at the liability?

I look forward to hearing from fellow members about this, thanks on advance for your comments.

The dividend tax credit is non-refundable

This doesn't seem fair though

Can unused "Qualifying loan interest expense" be taken forward
