<P STYLE="font: bold 10pt Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center">Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 1pt">To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of John Hancock Tax-Advantaged
Dividend Income Fund:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 1pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 1pt">In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements
of John Hancock Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund (the &#8220;Fund&#8221;) as of and for the year ended October 31, 2016, in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered the Fund's internal
control over financial reporting, including controls over safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures
for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,
we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0">The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A fund&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A fund's internal control over financial
reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the fund; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the fund are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and trustees
of the fund; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of a fund&#8217;s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0">A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the
design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions,
to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Fund's
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Georgia, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting
was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control
over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting and their operation,
including controls over safeguarding securities that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of October 31, 2016.</P>
