You can easily back date cheques but most documents have meta-data so you can tell when they were created.

I think this thread answers your question.

But if not it will be in these. It's gets asked multiple times around this time of year.

But you should be asking your accountant. Get this wrong and you'll be paying more tax when you didn't need to. An accountant may also look in to Directors Loans and other options for you based on your individual circumstances.

I think you can pay it up to (and inc?) 5th April
You can only take what is available as retained profit (not just revenue).
If you have the retained profit but you don’t want to actually pay the money you can declare it and treat it as a directors loan to the company.
But to be clear it’s not the money in the bank it’s the retained profit you can declare as a dividend... I.e with all your liabilities accounted for.

What is the deadline to pay a dividend for the current tax year?
The post topic is quite self explanatory
I guess this is a particular situation, I started my Ltd a month ago and my client is delaying payments so I am trying to delay paying a dividend before the financial year ends (hopefully my total income would be near £5K by the end of the month...) so I can take advantage of the £5K dividend allowance that applies for the current tax year.
In the other hand I had this question in mind, would it be possible to pay a dividend the 4th of April for instance? Otherwise what would be the "dead line" for doing this?
Apologies for the newbie/silly question.Tags: None
