Section 394: Distribution when dividend shares cease to be subject to SIP
1593.This section is based on section 251C of ICTA and applies if the dividend shares acquired with the cash dividend cease to be subject to the approved SIP within three years of acquisition.
1594.Subsection (2) deems a distribution to have been made to the participant in the tax year in which the dividend shares cease to be subject to the plan.
1595.Subsection (3) confirms that tax is charged on the amount of the cash dividend applied to acquire the shares (which have ceased to be subject to the plan) rather than, for example, the amount or value of the dividend shares.
