Ark. Code R. 26-51-412 - 3(a) (1997) - Dividends Paid in Securities or Other Property

Dividends paid in securities (other than the corporation's own stock) or other property in which the earnings of a corporation have been invested, are income to the shareholders in the amount of the market value of such property. When a corporation declares a dividend payable in the stock of another corporation, setting aside the stock to be distributed and notifying its shareholders of its action, the income attributable to the recipients of such stock is its market value at the time the dividends become payable. Scrip dividends are subject to tax in the year in which the warrants are issued.
