Consider the scenario where a director (the sole shareholder of a LTD company) declares an interim dividend on the 1st April 2013, writes up the meeting minutes/dividend vouchers and duly makes a book keeping entry to show the dividend as credited to the "director's loan account" (where the director's loan account is of course not a real bank account, just a book keeping entry). On the 1st June 2013, the director finally gets around to transferring the dividend from the company account into their personal bank account.
What is the date the interim dividend was "paid"?
Which self assessment tax year does this dividend fall into?
