The best way I worked out is to put most of it into a pension and stick two fingers up at HMRC. The tax burden is insane. You can cleverly put it in a SIPP and then use that SIPP to purchase commercial property.
This is a very good idea and something lots of people do. Did you purchase a commercial property?
Thank you for the info
Hi Alex, can you buy residential property with a SIPP?
@@stevendenny7260 No idea about that, corporate implies it's owed in the company so my best guess is as long as it's owned in the company and not by the human it's ok.
I have seen many videos by other publishers on youtube, all I can tell this gave me more understanding than all the previous combined together, thanks.

@@1stformations yes the one about Dormant Status this one was very helpful for me as once I registered my company I put my business in dormant status as I wasn’t ready yet to start trading. 1st Formations have everything ready and organised to set that up which is so helpful especially as a new business just starting out. It can be so overwhelming but the videos outline everything in simple and easy way to understand

For the director loan, can you create a ltd for just 1£ shares and then do the investment on director loan account. Then as companies cash increases take out the investment slowly? Is this any problem to hmrc? It says director loan should be for temporary basis, but cant find anything else or specific for when the company is the one the owes money. What should be considered for temporary basis then? If I did the investment on DL in the starting of the LTF I shouldnt declare the DL on companies account or convert them to equity... because it will be going for over a year...

Corporation Tax should be £7072.01 (NOT £8843.21)???
Formula:
(50270−12570−478.86)×0.19
= 7072.0166
Help me out....am I getting this wrong?
Otherwise, great video! Thanks! 👍
Thanks for getting in touch - we're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video.
The calculations in the video are correct. Dividends are paid from company profits after the deduction of Corporation Tax. So, in order to pay yourself gross dividends of £37,700, the company would require profit before tax of £46,543.21. 19% of £46,543.21 = £8,843.21
The example in the video simply shows the tax payable on an annual personal income of £50,270. We chose this figure because it is the earnings limit for paying the basic rate of Income Tax.
We hope this has provided clarification.
Nice
Thank you for your kind words. Do you have your own limited company?
Good company
Thanks for your kind words. Have you used our services before?
Hi can explain how u worked out corporation tax of £8843 and £234
Is it possible to set variable salary for directors who are also non resident directors and should they pay income tax in the UK?
Hi there! Apologies for the delay in our response. We are not aware of any reason, from a company secretarial perspective, that director salaries could not be varied so that amounts paid may differ from time to time. It is possible that non-resident directors would need to pay income tax in the UK, for example if their income is UK-derived. It’s quite a complex area, so we would suggest seeking the advice of an accountant to assist you. We hope this helps!
Interesting

Quick question, I am interested to set up my telecom business in uk with a Ltd company. Can I sponsor myself being a Director of the company who is self employed for 2 years on PSW visa.
Most authentic information/advice would be appreciated.
Thank you for getting in touch. I'm afraid we cannot advise on this. We recommend contacting the Home Office or seeking professional advice from an immigration advisor or lawyer.

directors salary can be taken in last month of the financial year one payment £12,500/ ?
Hi there, could you please provide some further details so we can try and assist? Thank you!
if 0 salary was paid to me and my parents, we would take £400k profit from company. Both parents are shareholders and I am not. How should we split salary/sipp/dividends to reap the best rewards?
Thank you for getting in touch. I'm afraid we cannot advise on this. We recommend contacting an account for advice.
Best wishes.
Whats the best approach if you have income from privately owned property. I pay myself £50k from by ltd company but also have 4 properties which receive £50k in rent - mortgage costs are £20k
Thanks for getting in touch.
If you own rental properties through a limited company, you can take the same approach when extracting profits from the business - pay yourself a smaller director's salary and take the rest as dividends throughout the year.
However, if you own the properties directly (i.e. in your own name), you'll pay tax on rental profits through Self Assessment. Due to Section 24 rules, you can no longer claim tax relief on mortgage interest unless you own the property through a company.
We recommend speaking to an accountant, who can determine the most tax-efficient strategy based on your circumstances.
Best wishes.
The increase in corporation tax rates may significantly reduce the tax saving in paying dividend
Thanks for your comment. Do you have a limited company?

Thank you. Have you checked out any of our other videos?
What if the company is completly inactive ( no revenu )
Then you can't pay yourself from it. Were you intending to somehow pay yourself from an inactive company?
Will it be applicable on foreign director not residing in UK?
It may be; however, the salary information may be different. Are you a company director of a UK company, but living outside of the UK?
Yes Im a uk company director living abroad and formed the company using 1st formations. Now not sure if salary tax slabs apply to me.
@@WaqassKhalid OK. Were you intending to take a salary or are you not sure?

How many times in a year can you pay dividends?
Thank you for your question, Mr Airdman. Most companies distribute dividends on a quarterly basis (i.e. every 3 months), but you can choose to pay yourself a dividend whenever the company has available profits. This could be on a monthly basis, twice per year, once a year, or simply on an ad hoc basis whenever surplus income is available. Have you checked out any of our other videos?

Many thanks. Are you a limited company director?
