Advance corporation tax (ACT) increased the tax cost to UK firms of distributing cash to shareholders. We demonstrate how the tax cost arising from ACT payments affected the channels through which UK firms returned capital to shareholders. In particular, we document and describe two unconventional irregular payout methods that enabled firms to avoid paying ACT. Firms choosing these methods are associated with significantly greater ACT problems than a control sample of firms that opted for conventional self-tender offers and special dividends. Event study tests indicate that the decision to adopt tax-efficient payout methods created significant additional value for shareholders beyond the basic cash distribution decision.

THEY boast of having 469million followers around the world but then warn that they may have to sell their own stadium. They are the most valuable football club in the world -- worth Pounds 1.2billion according to Forbes -- but have no money of their own to buy players. This is Manchester United 2010; Manchester United the Glazer way. Fears of financial meltdown have stalked the dreams of supporters since the Glazer family took their club into private ownership in 2005. Now -- as they tour the world trying to raise Pounds 500m to ease the burden of debts worth Pounds 699m -- United's owners have put down in black and white just what their four-and-half turbulent years have done to England's most famous football club.

Although UK resident tax-exempt shareholders lost the right to repayment of tax credits on dividends paid by UK resident companies in July 1997, they could continue to receive tax credit repayments in respect of dividends received from Irish resident companies until December 1998. In July 1997 the rate of tax credit on Irish companies' dividends was 21%, and this was reduced to 11% in December 1997. We obtain insights into the incentives and behaviour of UK tax-exempt investors in response to these changes in the relative 'tax attractiveness' of investments in Irish resident companies. We find that only at its highest rate, 21%, was the level of dividend tax credit on Irish companies' dividends sufficient to induce changes in UK tax-exempt shareholders' investment strategies; and that t...
