i am an IT contractor, with own ltd company and just me and my wife as directors. started this gig recently and new to all this.
i have 2 questions - is it okay to take out dividends which is more than my monthly profit BUT is well within my YTD profit, after allowing for corp tax.
for example, my average monthly profit is about 5k, but my YTD profilt is 45k since i had some bumper months. i am thinking of taking out 20k in dividends split between the two of us.
is this okay?
secondly - once dividends are declared, i was told, their actual disbursement can be made after several months, so long as they are within the same tax year. is that okay too?
