Taper relief is removed, replaced with a flat 18% CGT. You'd need to compare this with what you expect to pay with dividends. ie: if you are don't go over the top tax threshold then you pay no more tax. 0%.


There are a number of rules on granting Taper relief..so not as clear cut as just applying for it, so may not be an option. There was a useful link to explain this in more detail..but I dont' seem to have to hand.

I don't believe my LTD qualifies for Taper relief as it was only incorporated 7 months ago. Still 18% is better then 40%.

Isn't there a tax advantage even if taper relief goes?

Taper relief is likely to end in 5 months, or is that what you meant with "to tax avantage"? In that case you are correct, They are to tax that advantage.

However, the rest of the money will stay in the account for a few years to tax advantage of tax beneifts ie. taper.

The usual way to draw money from the company is a lowish salary (10.5K) + dividends (roughly 28K). However, the rest of the money will stay in the account for a few years to tax advantage of tax beneifts ie. taper.

I currently have a reserve a/c with Cater Allen. Their rates are :

Balance Gross % p.a.* AER%**
£500000+ 5.25 5.38
£100000+ 4.8 4.91
£50000+ 4.7 4.8
£25000+ 4.6 4.7
£10000+ 4.4 4.49
£5000+ 3.1 3.14

The usual way to draw money from the company is a lowish salary (10.5K) + dividends (roughly 28K). However, the rest of the money will stay in the account for a few years to tax advantage of tax beneifts ie. taper. In that case is it not important to ensure you get the highest rate possible. I assume CA don't offer the best rates. Anyone out there have another account that can beat these rates?
