constructive receipt

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.07 sec.
Constructive receipt
The date a taxpayer receives dividends or other income, for use in the determination of taxes.

constructive receipt
Receipt of items considered to be income for a given tax period even though payment is not received until later. For example, a dividend paid and mailed on December 30, 2003, but not received by stockholders until after the first of the following year is considered taxable income for 2003 because the stockholders are considered to have constructive receipt of the dividend.
