- bcrosby95 1y agoYou're comparing apples to oranges. At least in the US, both capital gains an dividends have lower tax rate carve outs if you own the stock for > 1 year.
- missedthecue 1y agoUnless you're day trading, dividends are generally taxed at capital gains rates for most publicly traded companies in America (REITs and K-1 partnerships get worse tax treatment at the point of distribution). You don't even need to hold it for a year. Could be different in other nations.
