Originally posted by Louisa@AardvarkAccounting View PostIf there are two employees through your company, I'd recommend one on a salary of £11,500 and the other on £8,170 per annum. As this way, you can take advantage of the Employment Allowance. Then take dividends thereafter.
Full disclosure: I'm one of those annoying people who doesn't trust his accountant and verifies stuff.
Are you telling us to be cheap and sexist and underpay our spouses without any good tax justification for doing so? What happened to income equality? Haven't you been listening to the politicians?Comment

Originally posted by WordIsBond View PostCare to explain why the second would be £8170? Seems like it should be either £8164 or £11,500. And since the Employment Allowance would be sufficient to cover Employer's NI for two employees at £11,500 (and to spare), why is £11,500 good for Employee #1 but not for Employee #2? But if not £11,500, then why would you go over £8164 to £8170? That makes no sense to me at all.
Certainly if you can justify paying employee #2 the £11,500 then it makes sense to utilise the employment allowance on that salary also.Comment

Originally posted by Michael at BI Accountancy View PostI believe Louisa has noted £8,170 as in order for a company to be eligible for the employment allowance it must have two employees over the secondary ni threshold (£8,164).
Certainly if you can justify paying employee #2 the £11,500 then it makes sense to utilise the employment allowance on that salary also.
Thank you for clarifying that oneWe're all ears!Comment

LTD with 2 people, we did £1000 a month each so that was actually £12k a year so £24K for two people. Don't mind a little extra NI, Employee Contribution is claimed back on the £24k.
Would be nice to know what the optimal salary would be for 1 man company that cannot claim EC. On £12K as a 1 man, I would pay £98 on Tax, £460 on NI and £530 on ENI. Total £1087.89
If I take £8200 then it goes NI £4.32, ENI £4.97 and pay corp tax at %19 on £3800 which means that I would pay £731.29.
This results in a saving of £356.7...Last edited by Drei; 15 May 2017, 13:59.Comment
