Hi
I am sure this question has been asked already but was hoping somebody could please advise.
Last tax year, I advised clients to take a £10,600 salary to utilise the employment allowance. This has obviously now changed and 'one man bands' can no longer claim the allowance, meaning that the old £157 per week salary becomes standard.
As £157 x 52 is £8,164 and dividends over £5,000 are taxed at 7.5% (up to a certain point), am I right in assuming that a sole director can take £7,836 in dividends (£5,000 + (£11,000 - £8,164)) without paying any personal tax because they are utilising their personal allowance fully?
Thanks
