Oh, and the references to HMRC vs. PA Holdings in those links are pretty irrelevant because that was a contrived scheme that involved restructuring company bonuses as dividends. You cannot disguise salary as dividends, but frequency and amount of payment is not enough if the intent was to declare a dividend and it was lawfully declared. Again, cite case law to the contrary.
The only situation in which you would be asking for trouble, I think, is if you lumped together salary and dividends in a single payment each month, but I don't believe there is case law to support even that situation.
