No because a shareholder is someone who owns or holds a share of stock and has the right to participate in the profits through dividends
Yes, dividends from stocks in a corporation are subject to double taxation. This occurs because the corporation pays corporate income tax on its profits, and then shareholders pay personal income tax on the dividends they receive from those profits. As a result, the same income is taxed at both the corporate and individual levels.

Earnings are taxed first as corporate profits, then as personal income after dividends are paid.
Yes, stockholders may receive dividends, which are payments made by a corporation to its shareholders, typically from profits. However, not all companies pay dividends; some may choose to reinvest profits back into the business for growth. The decision to pay dividends and the amount is determined by the company's board of directors and can vary based on financial performance and strategy.
Dividends are paid from corporate profits.
Stockholders
The dividends are shares of profits the company makes
Dividends are not considered capital gains. Capital gains are profits made from the sale of an investment, while dividends are payments made by a company to its shareholders from its profits.
Because dividend cover represents the amount of times by which dividends can be paid by profits. i.e. the company's ability to pay it's dividends. The higher the dividend cover the greater the ability of the company to pay dividends out of it's distributable profits. Dividends according to companies act legislation can only be paid out of distributable profits hence the relevance of dividend cover represents the companies ability to pay their dividends.
Profits paid to stockholders are called dividends.

A sole proprietorship typically allows the owner to take profits directly, often treated as personal income rather than dividends. In a partnership, profits are shared among partners based on their agreement. A corporation can distribute profits as dividends to shareholders, but if no profits are made, no dividends are paid. Government corporations generally reinvest any profits back into the organization rather than distributing them.
