Rate of DDT is 15%. However the catch here is that it is to be computed on "grossing up" basis. So if a company has to declare dividend of Rs 100,000. Instead of Rs 15000 DDT, the tax would be calculated by [15% / (100%-15%)] X 10,000 ; which comes out to Rs 17,647. Plus a surcharge of 12% & cess of 3% will also be charged on it. So total tax outgo = Rs 20,357.58 That is why, often it is said that the effective rate of DDT is 20.358% |
