It would be cleaner to pay yourself then pay HMRC, but as long as you have the dividend voucher to back up the payment then it should be fine. It's not as if you're avoiding tax in any way.

Pay SATR from company account

If I would issue a dividend for the amount of SATR I personally need to pay, do I have to pay the dividend to my personal account and then make a personal payment to HMRC? Or can I save a step - issue the dividend and then pay HMRC directly from the company account? Are there rules about dividends which make this dodgy?
