eligible dividends financial

"The dividends to which this notice relates are eligible dividends for tax purposes."

Eligible dividends are a type of corporate payout that carries a stronger tax benefit for individual shareholders because they come from profits that were taxed at higher corporate rates. Think of them like a higher-value coupon: investors receive cash and, when filing taxes, get a bigger credit that reduces the amount of tax owed on that income. That matters to investors because the after-tax amount they actually keep can be noticeably higher than for other kinds of dividends, affecting yield comparisons and portfolio income planning.
