From Investopedia tax rate on dividends and capital gains is at the same - dividends are taxed every year while capital gains are not taxed until the stock is sold. That time factor means the equity investment increases tax-free and thus grows exponentially faster. Thus, proponents of equity over dividends say the tax preference still holds. Moreover, they argue that companies assuming a tax differential viewpoint are focused on share appreciation and thus often have more funds available for growth and expansion than companies focused merely on increasing their dividends. In turn, that growth increases share value.If we look at the stats of actual numbers of holders that should tell us who the board is sucking up too!

The Investopedia bots don’t take into account or understand Australia’s dividend imputation system.
