Horrors of their first budget.
I thought that since I'm outside IR35 the NI threshold dropping to £5k means almost halving my small salary? And making the difference up in dividends means paying at the higher rate? I hope I've got it wrong - better email the accountant.- sergeantpluck

Family Health Insurance
Hello, has anyone purchased private health insurance for themselves and their family through their limited company? I'm wondering if it might more affordable or tax efficient to do it through the business. Thank you kindly.- sergeantpluck

Can my wife, who is a director, receive a dividend?
But I did find the information I need, here in this thread and on these forums :D Thank you for the advice everyone, I'm looking for a new accountant who will be willing to advise on such matters. I'm inclined to avoid any risk and issue an additional dividend to myself and pay the higher tax...- sergeantpluck

Can my wife, who is a director, receive a dividend?
Thanks for the feedback. It would seem the time to gift my wife shares was when I created the ltd company and now it is too late but I should still consult with a good accountant. This all sounds a bit risky though I have to say. It looks like I still have a lot to learn about being self-employed!- sergeantpluck

Can my wife, who is a director, receive a dividend?
I've been a contractor two years, my wife became a director after one year, and receives a small salary. She manages FreeAgent for us but I am the main fee-earner (my wife does not have another job). We wanted to be able to pay her a small dividend each month on top of the small salary but...- sergeantpluck

Accountant recommendation threads inc local requests
Can anyone recommend an accountant for a first-time contractor? I'm very new to all this (I have a couple of outside-IR35 contracts) - no idea what I'm doing with dividends, self-assessments, and all that. I'm with BI who set me up on FreeAgent which I've got running and in order but otherwise...- sergeantpluck

End client in the USA - QDOS deemed contract inside IR35. Umbrella or LTD company?
I thought I was leaving the PAYE employee world but I've taken a contract with a client in the USA and QDOS have helpfully told me I am most likely inside IR35. That's OK but seems harsh since I have to buy all my own equipment (they have zero legal UK presence) and can be let go at a moment's...- sergeantpluck

Do I need tax enquiry insurance?
First time contractor here (well in a few weeks I will be) with a contract from the USA (company has no presence in the UK) so I need to make my own IR35 assessment. I'm going to pay for a company to do an assessment for me but since they often offer such assessments free as part of tax enquiry...- sergeantpluck
