A corporate donor of eligible marketable securities has an added advantage in that 100% of the gain, rather than 50%, will form part of the company’s Capital Dividend Account and will be available to be paid out tax free to individual shareholders. The Toolkit Calculator will determine the after-tax cost, including the tax save by not paying tax on the capital gain and the dividend which would otherwise have been taxed as an Eligible Dividend.
