Dear forum members,
I have just started doing contracting from last month (Nov). I am the only director of the company. I and my wife are both shareholders of the company. The company was formed in mid Oct and I register for VAT from 1st Nov.
I need help with some basic questions:
1. I was on permanent job till end of Oct and have earned gross income of around £45K in this financial year. So if I now give myself minimum salary from my own company, will it be on 40% tax till March 2017? As an example if I set £10K as my annual salary, until April 2017 (new financial year) do I have to pay 40% tax on my salary?
2. Do I and my mrs have to complete self assessment by 31st Jan 2017 or will it be in Jan 2018? I and my wife were both on permanent jobs till end Oct and received P60s for tax year 2015-16.
3. Which month my company will be required to pay corporation tax? Will it be Oct 2017 as I started working in Nov 2016?
4 How the first year for dividend will be calculated? Will it be from Nov to Oct every year for my company?
5. Can I take dividends in January or do I have to wait for certain period before I can take dividends?
Thanks in Advance.
