What United States companies give increasing dividends?

In the UK, companies pay corporation tax on their profits and the remainder (after any investment retention) is paid to share holders as dividends. Basic rate tax payers have no further tax to pay as the dividend is deemed to have been received net of 10% tax. For higher-rate taxpayers, additional tax must be paid at 25% of the net dividend received (32.5% less the 10% deemed tax deduction).
