Every Investor invests in the companies to earn a profit/gain. The gain might be capital gain or in the form of dividends. Nepalese companies whichever listed in the NEPSE are also very efficient, as they are providing significant amount of dividend to the shareholders.
In recent past year/s bank and financial institutions (BFIs) are providing bonus share in order to increase the capital of organization. In such situation BFIs should not put their investor into trouble to make them pay tax on their own, rather they should exercise the system of providing cash dividend for tax purposes.
