Rumours are that low salary/high divvies are going to be a pointer that HRMC will use for deciding which PSCs to investigate (for IR35).
So what are the panels thoughts on this? Assuming you're comfortable enough that you're outside IR35, then you should try to be as tax efficient as possible and go for the lowest anyway, and deal with the investigation when/if it comes?
Presumably taking a higher salary/lower divvi is just a guess anyway, and as there is no guidance from HMRC on this you could end up making yourself tax inefficient for no reason at all.
