What are franking credits and why do they matter to ASX investors?

Franking credits, also known as imputation credits, are a tax benefit attached to dividends paid by Australian companies that have already paid corporate tax on their profits. When you receive a franked dividend, you also receive a credit for the tax already paid, which can be used to offset your personal tax liability. For Australian investors — particularly retirees and self-managed super funds — franking credits can significantly boost the after-tax return on dividend-paying ASX stocks.
