The latest dividend tax hikes mean Limited Company directors are taking a quiet hit to their take-home pay. 📉

With a frozen £500 allowance and a 2% increase across the board, the old ”low salary, high dividend“ structure might not be the most tax-efficient route for you anymore.

The good news? There are ways to restructure your take-home pay—whether that‘s optimizing your director’s salary, shifting dates, or utilizing smart pension contributions to protect your profits from HMRC.

Don‘t wait until the end of the tax year to find out you owe thousands more than expected.

Contact us today and the Jermyn & Co team will help you get it sorted! 💼👇

It was great to meet with local accountancy firms Lovewell Blake and Jermyn & Co., as well as the AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) and trainee accountants recently to discuss the important contribution they make to our local economy.

We spoke about the need for more funded accountancy apprenticeships in our area, giving young people the chance to train, gain qualifications and build successful careers locally.

Accountancy may not always be the first sector people think of when talking about the local economy, but these firms support so many businesses across Lowestoft and the surrounding area.

Always lovely to meet at the The Hotel Victoria too, with such a beautiful view of the sea!
