For those payments you receive that are qualified dividends, the maximum rate of tax you will pay is 15 percent, while many taxpayers may even qualify to receive the dividends tax free. This is because the law taxes qualified dividends using the same rates that apply to net capital gains. As a result, youâll pay a 15-percent tax on qualified dividends only if the taxable income you report puts you in the 25-percent tax bracket or higher. If your tax bracket is lower, you receive the qualified dividends tax free.
