RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Aimia share value The tax rate of dividend vs capital gain favors the dividend with taxable income at about 80k or less. At the 80k mark, both are taxed at about 20%. With increasing taxable income, capital gains will reach 23 to 24% and tax on dividend will marginally increase more and more. The dividend received in a business account is not taxed again but there is a temporary hold of the amount until the business pays a dividend to the owner. These auctions tend to fill and often the purchase price is around the mid-point. I expect the same for Aimia.
One thing I find surprising is the lack of noise from Hanif Mamdani (the Vancouver-based head of alternative investments at Phillips, Hager & North) who likely still holds about 35% of preferred shares.
