In an earlier article on why U.S. companies should raise their dividend payments now I mentioned that even if higher taxes are levied on dividends next year it is beneficial for investors to earn higher dividends if companies are unable to use their excess cash productively. A study by Allianz Global Investors confirms that dividend stocks outperform non-dividend payers in all tax environments.
Research from Allianz Global Investors shows it may not matter if dividend taxes return to a pre-Bush era marginal rate of up to 39.6 percent, rise to 20 percent as outlined in President Barack Obama’s 2011 budget or somewhere in between.“So, worst case scenario they expire… historically where you have had tax regimes where the highest rate was 50 percent or 70 percent, in those periods, dividend-paying stocks (still) outperformed,” said Kristina Hooper, head of portfolio strategies at Allianz in New York. Allianz reviewed tax rates from 1972 to the present, identified nine distinct time ‘regimes’ and found dividend-paying stocks outperformed nondividend-paying stocks in all but one period.
