Taxation of UK dividends: gross dividends treated as taxable in India, including franked distributions and imputed tax credits. Dividends from U.K. companies are taxable in India on the gross amount where those dividends are treated as franked income having borne tax at source; the Board affirms gross-basis treatment for all charges including Kerala despite contrary local authority. Subsequent U.K. statutory changes treated distributions as income of the recipient and introduced an imputation method attributing part of company tax to shareholders, reinforcing the applicability of the franked-income analysis and gross-basis taxation for post amendment periods.
