Abstract

The tax implications of dividend policy on a firm's equity value continues to be a controversial issue in corporate finance. Although some studies indicate that taxes only weakly affect corporate managers' dividend policy decisions, other evidence suggests that investors react to dividend payouts in line with their effective taxation on dividend income and capital gains.
