eligible dividend financial
"The dividend on Common Shares is an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes."
An eligible dividend is a type of company payout treated as higher-quality income for tax purposes, typically coming from a corporation’s profits that have already been taxed at higher corporate rates. For investors this matters because eligible dividends usually result in a larger tax benefit or lower personal tax than other dividends, so they increase the after-tax return much like getting a thicker coupon on the same purchase.
