The objective of the study was to investigate the clientele effects in dividend distribution for
companies quoted at the NSE. Quantitative methods were used to fulfill the main purpose of the
study. A regression model was used to carry out the empirical analysis. The study used
secondary data that was collected from the company’s published annual reports, company’s
journals and records from NSE.
The findings and analysis reveal that capital needs and tax (individual) have an effect on the
dividend distribution. The study used a multiple linear regression model to establish the
association between capital needs and tax (individual) on dividend distribution. The results
obtained from the regression model show that there is an inverse relationship between capital
needs and tax (individual) on dividend distribution
In view of these findings, the researcher recommends future research in this area.
