Originally posted by MPwannadecentincome View Postumm this is a new one on me. So I can take salary upto personal allowance then take 60K in dividends and pay no higher dividend rate tax (if I have no other income?).
Take a typical contractor who takes the normal £8k salary/£35k dividend split up to the higher rate threshold. The £8k salary and first £3k of dividends will be covered by the personal allowance, the first £5k of taxable dividends will be covered by the dividend allowance and the rest will be taxed at 7.5% (£2025). All other things being equal, the £3k reduction of the dividend allowance means you'll be paying 7.5% on an extra £3k (£225) though the increase in personal allowance will cancel some of that out.
If you're on a full time salary of say £43k and have some dividends from other investments, then currently you can still get £5k in dividends with no other tax due. When this is reduced, as a higher rate tax payer you'll be paying 32.5% on an extra £3k (£975).

For those who are already higher rate payers before they take any dividend income, that extra £3k will be costing them an extra £975.

Wonder if this 2.27 million already excludes those who'll be moving off dividends as they're inside IR35 and PAYE, or are we double counting?

Impact on individuals, households and families
Individuals and households who receive dividend income in excess of £2,000 will be affected. Around two thirds of all those with dividend income, will be unaffected by this measure. It is estimated that this will affect around 2.27 million individuals in 2018 to 2019 with an average loss of around £315.

Dividends
Some will also be paying additional divi tax at the higher rate.

Potentially missing the weighting of those who have two dividend takers.

Hmm... £3k * 10.5% = £315 ....
Or am I missing something?!
