It is before tax but you don’t need to pay 28% for the dividend. Depend on what type of assets the company have, you will need pay different % of tax.

Resident Individual = 10%
Non Resident Individual = 10%
Resident Institutional Investors = 10%
Non-Resident Institutional Investors = 10%
Resident Companies = 0% ; Subject to Corporate Tax at Prevailing Rate
Non-Resident Companies = 25% for Year of Assessment 2009
