🍋 Squeezing the Juicy Stuff - Dividend Distribution 🍋
Imagine a company is an overly-productive lemon tree, and you, dear shareholder, are waiting below with a glass. When the company dishes out distributable profits, you get a share of the lemonade – aka a dividend. Ah! Nothing quenches your thirst for investment returns like that sweet swig of dividend juice!
💼 Packing Up - Capital Distribution 💼
This one’s for the heavy hitters on the house floor – a capital distribution comes into play during the company’s grand farewell (aka winding up of the company). Picture the CEO draping a dramatic cape and announcing, “It’s time!” Your share capital? Delivered back to you with a crunchy golden bow. Just a heads-up, this magnificent parting gift usually pays tribute to the capital gains tax god and not the income tax gremlin.
