If you are only earning £25k why would you want to split dividends?
What was that about speaking to your accountant again?

i was just thinking if i could set up a second ltd for my partner, obviously to reduce my corporation tax in 2011-2012.
i'm contracting outside ir35, earning under £25,000 per annum.
£589 per month or £7072 per year in wages and £3000 expenses would leave me roughly £15,000 in profit or £12,000 net dividends and £3,000 ct.
so it means a lot to me if i can avoid £1500 in ct through paying just over £589 per month into the other ltd.
what do you think?
will it be anywhere close to s660?
thanks in advance

gifting shares site:forums.contractoruk.com/accounting-legal/ - Google Search
Interesting that most of the questions asked about how to gift shares has a 'speak to your accountant' response... and not from me.Last edited by northernladuk; 19 November 2012, 13:32.

I see 2 options:
-Using form sh01 to issue more shares and in my AR to specify who do they belong to(my wife)
-Giving a gift to my wife - 50% of my shares. How is is done?
Which one will not cost me anything in tax?
Or is there a another way?
Caveat (a) the law may change in the future - its parked for now, with no indication of it being resurrected.
Caveat (b) this is assuming there is nothing strange happening, eg EIS or different share classes. I'm assuming a typical PSC with one class of share?
Caveat (c) don't make changes too often. No hard and fast rule, but more than once a year is IMV a risk, although quite how HMRC would attack I don't know.

I'd recommend you just pay a salary, it's simple to set up and lots of people do it. It will save all the extra admin (and expense if you value your time) of running a second company.

thank you for taking the time replying. but i'm going back to my question, would i not be much safer with a second ltd?
i ended up doing all the paperwork myself as the accountant was only bothered to charge me a fee upfront when registering with him.
and then he didn't even send CT41G (New company details) to HMRC.
i've started doing all myself to avoid penalties so as i've become more familiar with p11calculator, p46 p11 p14 p35 p60 annual return, changing accounting refference dates to line up. and i can handle the payroll, and dividends vouchers, the accountant will actually do the corporation tax return.
have i covered it all? quite a waste of money £500 to the accountant just for the corporation tax.
out of topic i'm thinking to go for an accountancy course myself now.
to get back to the topic, if this is all i've got to do regarding the company, as the accountant is not doing anything or teaching me what is to be done, i can handle doing this for 2 companies.
am i wrong to think i can get aways with paying invoices of £700 a month to the second company? it will only cost me £200 quid formation and corporation tax.
still £1000 savings on my corporation tax, and no family business tax or s660 i hope.
thank you for your views!
