Dividends are taxed. At the end of the day, you have to calculate your total return. And with dividends it's lower. Not worth it.

- ddorian43 5y agoWhat's your exact tax rate for dividends and stock gain?
- mettamage 5y ago1% flat tax on all of our money or anything that's worth money (more or less). 15% dividend pre-tax, but we get that back in the form of reduced wage tax.
- ddorian43 5y agoSeems like NL. Do you need the income from dividends? If not, the "growth" sectors have more total growth compared to dividend stocks/etfs. Note that dividends are also taxed at the company level. So Apple pays USA 15% and then you also get taxed your 15% pre-tax. This doesn't happen when not distributing the dividend.
