Do I have this dividends thing worked out?

Pay a GROSS dividend of £34,995. This equates to an actual cash dividend amount drawn from the company of £31,495.
Because your income levels remain below the higher rate tax threshold, HMRC will not ask you to pay ANY Income Tax on the £31,495 dividend received.
Why the difference between the two, sorry for being thick!Because your income levels remain below the higher rate tax threshold, HMRC will not ask you to pay ANY Income Tax on the £31,495 dividend received.
The business has done well over the past year and I need to think about getting funds out of the business. I draw a small salary through our PAYE but pay no TAX and little NI on it.Obviously the business is going to have to pay corp tax on profits but I want to reduce my tax to a low as possible. Of course I will discuss this with my bean counter but I was just interested in a heads up!
