    Profitable amount to pay Tax on

    Morning,

    Does one pay tax on the profit amount before dividends paid or after dividends paid?

    Thanks,

    Excluding dividends.
    Dividends are declared out of retained earnings and are not an expense.

    To confirm, Andromeda is saying income tax is paid on the amount before dividends are paid.
