What changed for dividends from a company I own?

Two reform wins: the deemed dividend distribution rule is abolished for profits earned from 2026 (you're no longer taxed on profits you didn't distribute), and the defence contribution on actual dividends dropped from 17% to 5% for domiciled shareholders. Non-doms still pay 0% SDC.
