No, preferred stock dividends are not tax deductible for the issuing corporation. Unlike interest payments on debt, which can be deducted from taxable income, dividends paid to preferred stockholders are considered a distribution of profits and are not deductible. This means that the corporation pays taxes on its earnings before distributing dividends to preferred stockholders.

A firm is paying an annual dividend of 2.65 for its preferred stock that is selling for 57.00. There is a selling cost of 3.30. What is the after-tax cost of preferred stock if the firm's tax rate is?
To calculate the after-tax cost of preferred stock, we first determine the cost of preferred stock before taxes. The formula is ( \text{Cost of Preferred Stock} = \frac{\text{Annual Dividend}}{\text{Net Proceeds}} ). The net proceeds are the selling price minus the selling cost, which is ( 57.00 - 3.30 = 53.70 ). Thus, the cost is ( \frac{2.65}{53.70} \approx 0.0493 ) or 4.93%. Since preferred dividends are not tax-deductible, the after-tax cost remains the same at approximately 4.93%.

Colemans preferred stock is riskier to investors than its debt yet the yield to investors is lower than the yield to maturity on the debt Does this suggest that you have made a mistake?
Corporate investors own most preferred stock, because 70 percent of preferred dividends received by corporations are nontaxable. Therefore, preferred often has a lower before-tax yield than the before-tax yield on debt issued by the same company. Note, though, that the after-tax yield to a corporate investor and the after-tax cost to the issuer are higher on preferred stock than on debt.
