    Budget in Summary

    Below is a potential model of your salary and dividend income and tax exposure, using the prospective tax rates effective from 6th April 2016:

    Tax free personal allowance salary: £11,000 (tax free)
    Tax free dividends: £5,000 (tax free)
    Available dividends within the basic rate: £27,000
    Dividends taxed at 7.5% (£27,000): (£2,025)
    Take home pay: £40,975


    There's a coporate tax savings of 1% from April 2016 and another 1% in 2020.

    Sole Directors, get a hit on subsistence and travel, unless you have another employee or director then you're fine.

    IR35 under massive scrutiny - so make sure your contract is water-tight and your work practices match that.

    Who are you?

    And the subsistence and travel bit is up for discussion and you need to remember that the issue HMRC is hitting here is not us but we may be collateral damage...

      Very true, but a hit is a hit. Just because you're not the primary target doesn't lessen the effect*.



      *if there is an effect once all the details are clear...

        Yeah, who are you?

        And do you like gladiators? Was there anything in the budget regarding plumbing? (I've been on holiday...)

            My phone gave up the ghost while I was there though. I need to buy an iPhone later today (I was going to buy a non-apple phone, but who am I kidding? )
