Any way to avoid the situation whereby someone can Google my name, find out my limited company, and from there easily work out what I'm raking in per year?

Yes - stop using a limited company

I assume you're filing abbreviated accounts, giving away as little information as possible?

Of course you could just pay up your child maintenance.

Hi Zerosum, unfortunately, no is the short answer. When you work through a Ltd Co, information is available to the public.

I don't believe it is that easy to find out how much you earn though. The only information available is the information on the Abreviated Accounts, which isn't that much. Just snap shots of the company at a point in time e.g. bank balance, debtors, liabilities etc.

A fake name is my favourite form of contraception

I'll take a wild guess; are you divorcing?

1 - Create a new company (in case the person you want to keep in the dark knows the name of the current company)

2 - Use the accountants as the registered address

3 - Appoint someone other than yourself as a director and you are just an employee (therefore not named in the accounts)

And with point 3, there go your dividends too. Wave hello to full PAYE/NIC.

You don't have to be a director or employee to get dividends, all you need is shares.

Not necessarilly. Dividends are paid to the Shareholders, not Directors.
