This thesis deals with the issue of dividend taxation in the European Union. Dividends are subject to double taxation, which constitutes an obstacle to the single internal market. To remove this obstacle the Parent -- Subsidiary Directive 90/435/EEC was adopted (hereinafter "Directive"). In the thesis I described the implementation in selected European Union countries and the issues that contributed to a better functioning of the internal market and whether there are further obstacles it the internal market. I mentioned also the current harmonization steps of the institutions of the European Union. Comparative analysis of the tax treatment of selected Member States showed that there are still situations in which national legislation can come into conflict with the Directive. However, I found by calculating the effective tax rate on dividends paid from the Czech Republic to selected countries that the implementation of the Directive has contributed to a better functioning of the internal market.
