标题: Equity method: just NI and no dividends on parents income? [打印本页] 作者: RobertA 时间: 2013-4-2 14:33 标题: Equity method: just NI and no dividends on parents income?
NI = 18K
DIV=10k
So parents 30% = 5.4K or 2.4K?
I thought all three methods reported the same income on parents I/S.
Can you please help?作者: BC_MBA_student 时间: 2013-4-2 14:35
5.4K, the dividend reduces the equity investment account on the balance sheet, does not affect NI.作者: Kapie 时间: 2013-4-2 14:35
When you get Dividend, you record it as a Cash receipt and a reduction in the Investment Balance ( So that the balance sheet still Balances). It does not get recorded as Income.作者: bcp901 时间: 2013-4-2 14:36
oh good catch
Also for clarification does the 5.4K get added to the NI directly? If so, does that mean the tax rate on their regular NI and investment NI are different (assuming the company they invested in pays a lower %)
