Warner Chilcott Special Dividend
HelpRegister |
Warner Chilcott Special Dividend Warner Chilcott has issued a special dividend of $8.50 per share. bivio autosync treated the entire proceeds as a dividend. Based on the guidance posted by the company, treasurers will need to adjust this entry next year when they receive the 1099 before running the tax report. Purpose of this post: 1) inform other treasurers about the special treatment required for this dividend; and 2) confirm that each treasurer, not the bivio team, will need to make the adjustment next year before doing taxes. If my assumption is incorrect, I request confirmation from one of the experts. Jack Ranby Grants Partners - Phoenix AZ Guidance issued by the company. Because the amount of the proposed special cash dividend that would be treated as a dividend for U.S. tax purposes would depend on the amount of its current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. tax purposes as of the end of 2010, the Company is not in a position to determine what portion of the special cash dividend would be treated as a dividend for U.S. tax purposes at this time. The portion of the special cash dividend that is treated as a dividend for U.S. tax purposes would be reported on the Forms 1099 sent to shareholders in 2011. The Company expects that any portion of the special cash dividend that constituted a dividend for U.S. tax purposes would constitute a "qualified dividend" for U.S. tax purposes. To the extent that the special cash dividend received by a shareholder exceeded the portion treated as a dividend for U.S. tax purposes, the excess would first be treated as a return of a taxpayer's tax basis in our ordinary shares and thereafter as capital gain.

1099 for the year 2010. If the entire dividend was not paid out of earnings, it
will not all be taxable, and a portion of it will be considered as return of
capital.

reported against the 1099 received from the company, and adjust for any
differences. This is normal procedure at tax time.
