To gross it up for the extra 6% tax (25% - 20%).
25-20 is 5% but why 6%?
I mistyped - it is 26% - 20%
Those are the two tax rates given in the question!!
whats the reason behind grossing up we can just do 10.422/(15m-0.9)..
Also if are grossing up.. why arent we doing full gross up that is 10.422/ 0.74 ( accpunting for 26% of the tax ?
The question makes it clear that full credit is given for tax already paid.
Thy have already paid tax at 20% and therefore just have to pay the extra 6%.
Therefore for every $100 received in remittances they will only end up with a net $94. Or, putting it the other way round, for every increase in dividend capacity of $94 they need to have received $100 in remittances.
