Personal Taxation Of Dividend Income

so one of my colleagues(UK-based) and long term friend received part of his income as dividends.

He's trying to find out how to calculate the income tax liability on this income. Having looked at various helpful websites he said he was still rather confused. SO, I thought I could get some help here!..

Can anyone help me on this?

    The gross dividend should be added onto this total income. If he is sitill a basic rate taxpayer that that point there is no further tax due. If he is a higher rate taxpayer the he is due to pay an extra 22.5% tax on the gross dividend.
