Australia has adopted a variation of this approach by eliminating the double taxation of dividends through its policy of dividend imputation. Under dividend imputation, an individual taxpayer may impute the corporate taxes already paid by a company paying him a dividend in determining his own taxes on that dividend. 1, record 4, English, - dividend%20imputation
