Grossing up


Additional Services

 

Grossing up comes into play when, as a shareholder, you may receive some dividends net of tax.

In order to be able to calculate your tax liability (increasingly important under self-assessment ) on such income, an amount equivalent to a notional tax figure is added to the net amount.

Your tax liability is then calculated back from this notional gross figure.
