    Not sure if this has been covered elsewhere (I'm sure one of the post police will be along with a hearty KUATB if it has) but this article addresses the "inside or outside of the tax free allowance" question. Do the ISA comments have any relevance to Ltd company structures?

      You are right this time. By the time employer NI is considered, there is no case in which limited company contractors pay a higher rate of tax than the tax paid on PAYE employee compensation.

      The marginal rate gets pretty close at higher earnings.

        Contractor Calculator said the same thing, but I don't know if either of them actually knows. I saw an accountants' discussion in which they drew the same conclusion, but they said it hadn't actually been stated for certain yet.

        I can't see how the ISA comments would be relevant.

          Indeed, all speculation and educated guesses at the moment.

            Yes if YourCo floats on a recognised stock exchange then it would be eligible.

            One thing the Times article did not mention is that many BigCo.'s already facilitate dividend tax avoidance for private investors, typically through use of the personal CGT allowance - a practice which seems to go completely unchallenged.
