Paper only dividend or Higher Tax band? Paid myself too much in last tax year

[Malcolm Buggeridge]

If you have it in an account doing nothing, then you could repay it to the company if your aim is not to exceed the 40% tax bracket.

As Greg says, this shouldn't be a problem if the amount due is < £1000. And all that I have to fork out from my own pocket is the £875. Which is preferable to deducting £3500 from this years allowance.

I think I'm clear now - just wanted to be sure before I tell my accountant I've found the paperwork for a £3500 divi that I didn't tell him about!
