Most company owners pay themselves a salary and stop there. There is a smarter way.
A small salary around £12,570 keeps you within your personal allowance, maintains your NI record, and gets Corporation Tax relief. Take the rest as dividends at 10.75%, with no NI on top.
Bring in your spouse, civil partner, or adult children as shareholders and you can shelter even more. If your children genuinely work in the business, pay them a salary too. Legitimate, tax-efficient, and fully above board.
Same income. Less tax. Right structure.
