As I am not taking any dividends next year because the communist HMRC have forced me to be an employee. I will not be taking any more dividends in the 32% tax bracket this year, instead. I will wait until April and then take them at 7%, as my income will be stolen before I receive it next year, I will not be taking any new dividends. Should save a few £1000 in tax. I'd rather burn the money than give it to HMRC.

I am a libertarian, i have always thought that taxation is theft, even before I started contracting. But now I think it even more so. If you want me to stop posting here, then I can do that. No problem.

They could, but you would have to change the share allocation and issue different types of shares i.e. Alphabet Shares. If the only reason you do this is to avoid paying tax HMRC will take a dim view.Originally posted by TwoWolves View PostA spouse on the board could take dividends if they are not working, surely?"Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
