Most dividends are. However, long term capital gains distributions from a mutual fund are capital gains. Liquidating dividends and return-of-capital dividends can be capital gains. And, to make matters more confusing, some dividends, knows as "qualifying dividends," are taxed at long term capital gains rates even though they are not capital gains.
Profit margins are usually deducted from all costs, depreciation, interest, taxes, and other expenses. The formula is: (Total Sales - Total Expenses) / Total Sales = Profit Margin Note that preferred stock dividends are usually calculated, but not ordinary stock dividends.
No. You pay tax on dividends, which is NOT always the same as capital gains tax rate. Cuurently it is pretty much the same. althoug only a few years back it was the same as ordinary income.
Qualified dividends are taxed at flat capital gains tax rate (currently 15%) while ordinary dividends are taxed as ordinary income, depending on an individual's specific tax bracket. For dividends to be considered qualified, they have to be absent form the IRS unqualified dividend list and the underlying stock that pays the dividend must be held for a specified by IRS holding period (more than 60 days during the 120-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date, and for preferred stock, the holding period is 90 days during the 180-day period beginning 90 days before the stock's ex-dividend date). Examples of dividends that do not qualify are: - Dividends paid on money market accounts - Dividends from mutual funds attributable to interest and short-term capital gains - Dividends from real estate investment trusts (REITs) - Dividends received in your IRA

The earnings of ordinary shareholders are called dividends.
Preference shares are shares whose dividends are paid out first before ordinary shares dividends. They so called (preference shares) because they have 'preference' over ordinary shares for payment of dividends.
Yes. Your regular dividends are reported, then whatever portion of the dividend that are classified as qualified re ported as well. This does not mean you are paying double tax or anything. You get a better rate on the part of your dividends that are qualified.
cumulative preference share :)

Exempt interest and exempt dividends from qualified municipal bonds.
Preference shares are shares that receive dividends and repayments of capital in prority to ordinary shareholders. The rate of dividends are fixed. The disadvantage is that the rate of dividend will not increase if profits increase.
If your shares were lent to a short seller, any payments in lieu of dividends you received are taxable. And what is even worse is that they are not qualified dividends for purposes of the reduced tax rate on dividends. If you are the borrower, any payments you made to the lender are an itemized deduction if you held the short position for 46 or more days. They are an addition to your basis if you held it for 45 days or less.
