Is there anything stopping me from claiming this since I have become a director of my Ltd co on a low salary. I pay myself 15k and the missus is on roughly the same doing a part time job. Would being a Director have any affect on on getting this i.e divedends etc. I'm not that fussed but if its there for the taking i'll ave it.

Any income you receive that counts towards the taxable limits counts towards the limit for Tax Credits, less £300 "allowance". That includes dividends.
