Wow, thanks for the replies.
So I guess to sum up, I should use the 5k limit to keep me "topped up" between dividend payements?
I always thought (for some reason) that dividends were only paid at the end of the company year. It seems not. So if I pay myself a dividend say on a quarterly basis, when does the tax (both corporation and my own income tax) become due? do I just declare it on my persoanl end of year tax return in the same way I would for income from shares in say Tesco or something?
Life was simpler under IR 35.....
