Overview

In limited companies, in addition to salary, you can also take out a dividend as compensation for yourself. Dividends are distributed to all shareholders in proportion to their ownership, so you can not decide on different dividend amounts to different shareholders in any way. 

The tax on the dividend is 20% as long as it is within the dividend margin that you can credit within the so-called 3:12 rules, and which is calculated on your K10 appendix in your private declaration. You can read more about this in our article: “How do dividends work?”
