There is an urban myth that dividends can only be paid quarterly or half yearly, you can pay monthly provided there is the profits to support the payment.

I am actually calling PCG now....but would like some thoughts...
Thanks.

No, you don't. Do take the trouble to produce and file them regularly though. Although there is no legal requirement to have them, it makes life a LOT easier if you are picked for a PAYE review by HMRC. Well worth the two minutes a month it would take.Originally posted by wantacontractwell i don't have a problem producing one for myself...showing that i am paying myself the correct wage...my main query is do I need to send them to the IR??

I dont think there is a concrete requirement for it but it cant hurt to have one on file. I have pukka payslips showing gross net and PAYE/NI payements provided by my accountants ( SJD )
