Dividend credit refers to the recognition of dividends paid on shares owned by an investor, which can be used to offset tax liabilities or enhance the investor's overall return. It typically applies to stocks or mutual funds that distribute earnings to shareholders. In some tax jurisdictions, shareholders may receive a credit against their tax obligations based on the dividends they have received. This can incentivize investment in dividend-paying assets.
