    Yes, UK tax on dividends paid by UK companies, why can't it be taken at source regardless of where shareholder is living? That would be fair - making money from UK company, then pay some tax, however the system only very heavily now taxes those who choose to stay in country, and allowing those who have fooked off to pay 0%, or just make shareholder a company in Isle of Man and collect the money as you please later.

    Obviously UK Govt is choosing to fook over locals because they ain't got anywhere to go, which will be especially true after Brexit.
    The companies have already paid tax themselves. Paying a tax on the dividend at source would effectively be more tax on the company.

    The tax on the dividend to individuals is because it is part of their income. That's how tax works in this country.

        Tax on company profits and tax on dividends are different things - if company reinvests profits then there is no extra tax, if not then why not take tax from declared dividends regardless who is the shareholder? This way big loophole of using offshore company is closed dead

          Offshoring is primarily used by individuals, not companies.

          Companies tend to use profit transfer which is slowly being caught up with.

          If you receive dividends then you have to meet the tax implications as it is your personal income and no-one else's. You pay tax according to the jurisdiction in which you are deemed resident at the time. If you're in the UK then you are subject to UK tax law.

              I know how it is, I am talking about how it should be - tax on dividends should be taken regardless of where shareholder is located, double taxation agreements will allow them to offset this tax, the only people who will be fooked are those who used offshore companies - which is nice.

              This would help reduce overall dividend tax rate

                Write to Philip Hammond and suggest it.
