I am with Giant powerhouse, and get dividends around 2200 a month. I am a shareholder I think and not a director does anyone know if I need to fill in a tax return as Giant told me you only need to fill one in if they send you. How do I calculate if I am in the higher tax bracket or if I owe any additional tax on my dividends. I am a bit panicky as have been with giant over a year and half so not sure if I will get in trouble with the IR

If you are a director you have to complete an annual tax return. It's not an option, it's the law. Or is your business so bad you take no income from it?Originally posted by liveforeveri haven't completed one since i started my business and i'm a director. I've been in touch with my accountant but i've had no respons as yet.
Time for a new accountant perhaps? You may have a slight problem...Blog? What blog...?

Giant Powerhouse is an umbrella scheme and AFAIK you need not worry about tax returns, they take care of it for you - but you should look to leave this arrangement before April as I believe Powerhouse is covered by the impending MSC legislation. Have a search on this board for more info.Originally posted by AZZIKI am with Giant powerhouse, and get dividends around 2200 a month.

Edit: Then again, re-reading what I've written that's bollox, ignore me, listen to the others instead. Bit distracted by 'shenanigans' here at work at the mo. However - I'd get away from Giant anyway as they're a bunch of @rse. (Oh, and you can challenge me on that if you like, legal chaps)Last edited by realityhack; 20 March 2007, 13:31.Comment
