Solution
In the Australian taxation system, franking credits are a type of tax credit that a company passes on to its shareholders along with dividends. The franking credit represents the tax the company has already paid. Franking credits are also known as imputation credits.
Sally's assessable income on these dividends is the sum of the dividend payment and the franking credits.
Dividend payment: 600
Assessable income: 600 = $2000
