Are Shell shares worth keeping?
In the context of Indian tax law, dividend income—including that from companies like those often referred to as "SIA" (such as Singapore Airlines, though tax treatment varies by residency)—is taxable in the hands of the recipient. Since April 1, 2020, India transitioned away from the Dividend Distribution Tax (DDT) paid by companies, moving to a system where shareholders include dividends in their total income. If you are a resident taxpayer, dividends are taxed according to your applicable income tax slab rate. For non-resident taxpayers, dividends are generally taxable at a special rate of 20%, subject to potential relief under Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA). Additionally, companies may deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) at 10% if the dividend exceeds ₹10,000. Taxpayers should always review their specific residency status and applicable tax treaties to determine their final liability.
