40000 is a distribution for net profit

Taxable income is150.00 (arrive at operating income - interest charges)

If it pays dividend and pay tax is double taxed.

The taxable income is $150, while dividend if paid during the year will be shown in SOCIE if not paid during the year will only be mentioned in Director report only and not mentioned elsewhere in the financial statement.
