A quick guide for your new limited company
Getting at your profits
Extracting your profits from your company can be by a mix of wage (ie under PAYE) and dividend. To pay a dividend the company must have sufficient after tax profits.
eg for a £10,000 dividend to be paid the company must have at least £12,346 pre-tax profits (corporation tax rate of 19%).
ie £10,000 = £12,346 profit minus £2,346 corporation tax
Do not be tempted to withdraw more than is legally available as dividend, as it would be void and treated as a loan repayable to the company. If the loan is to the director it would be a taxable benefit in kind if over £10,000 .
