    I thought that the 7.5% dividend tax didn't apply to ISAs, and lower CT won't help retained funds since you've already paid it at the prevailing rate?

    Of course the dividend tax will cause the stock market to plummet, so you could shift to a buy-to-let and save tax.
    You're correct. The dividend doesn't apply to investments held within an ISA nor does capital gains tax, or indeed any other income tax.

    Still worth putting as much as you can in and reinvest the dividends to build it up.

    I wouldn't rely on the Entrepreneur's Relief being available to PSC's in the long term.

      Nice idea, only problem is that if company become non-trading it could get exposed to some punitive taxation measures in the near future.

        This has always been my medium/long term objective, but if it didn't work out then I would retain funds in the Ltd and buy assets (property) to generate income.

          Now that's very dangerous - that kind of companies will be heavily taxed for sure, very very soon

            why?

            Don't property trading companies already exist?

              Property trading is not the same as getting rent income from owned properties wrapped into an Ltd.

                    Too much doom and gloom in your vision IMO. There will always be niches, ways to make income etc. That won't change. You don't need to buy rental property, you could build one yourself etc. All sorts of investment options available once you've accumulated enough.

                    I'll keep on investing until it won't matter anymore
