Dividend Taxes is not a company expense but a company's liabilities for the deduction of taxes once Dividends is declared to the members of the company. It must be distinct and cleared from the normal activities of the company's expenses. In this respect, it could be classified as a sub-category of the Dividends Payable. Upon the payment of dividends, the appropriate rate of taxes must be paid on behalf of the Dividend Recipient to the Tax Authority. This would then be a debit entry to Dividend Taxes and a credit entry to the Cash or Bank Account to complete the transaction. The object is to withhold taxes on behalf of the dividend recipient and the company is to then ensure that the taxes are paid to the Tax Authority.
