Good point - you can tell I've been out of it for a whileOriginally posted by rootsnall>Basically, on dividends, you save the NI - you don't save on your tax bill (and the NI on income over £32760 is only 1%)
You are forgetting your Ltd's ( or composite's ) employers NI, 12% I think.

Underscore,
The composite isn’t doing anything dodgy. They don’t own any extra tax. But you might.
It doesn’t matter whether you use a composite or Ltd or are simply an employee. If you are a higher rate tax payer and you get any dividend income (maybe you own a few shares) you have some extra tax to pay.Comment
