Dividend Investors Set to Face Major Dividend Tax Increase in 2013

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) by law are required to pay
out a minimum of 90 percent of their taxable income through
dividends. A dividend tax increase has been a major concern for
investors as current top tax rate is set to expire in the New Year.
Five Star Equities examines the outlook for dividend yielding
companies and provides equity research on American Capital Agency
Corp. (NASDAQ: AGNC) and Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NYSE:
NLY).

The current top tax rate on dividends, which was set in the
Bush-era, will expire in January. If lawmakers fail to take action
dividends will be taxed at the same level as wages and salaries in
2013. President Obama's plan would see the top tax rate on
dividends rise to from 15 percent to 39.6 percent for high-income
earners, which doesn't include the new 3.8 percent tax on
investment income added by Obama's health-care law. Since mREITs
are already taxed as ordinary income they are likely to see just a
slight increase in taxation, compared to almost triple for other
high yielding companies.
"The prevailing fear is that if taxes for dividends increase,
dividend yielding companies could grow less attractive and could
see a multiple de-rating," said Savita Subramanian, a strategist at
Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
