Several years ago, Jared purchased 1,000 cumulative preferred shares at $25 per share of MNE Inc., a publicly-traded taxable Canadian corporation. This year, the shares will pay a $1.50 fixed annual eligible dividend. His effective tax rate on ordinary income was 45%. He lives in a province where the conversion rate for the dividend tax credit on eligible dividends is 10.00%.

Jared’s effective tax rate on eligible dividends is 27.5727%, calculated as:

(dividend grossup rate × (effective tax rate on ordinary income - (federal and provincial conversion rates))); or
((1 + 38%) × (45% - (0198% + 10.00%))).
