Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the imputation systems of corporation tax within the EEC. The introduction of an imputation system in the United Kingdom in 1973 seems to have been the result of three main factors. There was the need to harmonies practice within the EEC. There was also an equity argument against the economic double taxation of dividends. The chapter presents a comparison of incorporated and unincorporated businesses. It has not been possible to establish whether the imputation system in the UK would lead to greater dividends because of such complicating factors since 1973 as high inflation and dividend restrictions. It is not at all clear that it is possible for investors to tell which companies will make the best use of investment funds.
