I presume you mean a spouse who is based in your home country.
Basically you can and the shareholder will pay tax on any dividends in the UK, the tax paid is then usually offset against tax paid overseas.
You need to check with an accountant but this is what I would expect.Last edited by BlasterBates; 29 November 2012, 15:21.

I think it's a Bob on Tier 1 or 2 and has a Ltd and wants to bring a family member over by thinking the visa system can be bypassed by the method outlined.
Lay your bets, pls!
