Key Considerations for Limited Company Owners

  • Tax-Efficient Salary & Dividends: Many directors take a low salary and higher dividends to reduce tax.
  • Pension Contributions: These reduce corporation tax and help with long-term financial planning.
  • VAT Registration: Required if your turnover exceeds £90,000.
  • Allowable Business Expenses: Deducting valid expenses lowers taxable profit and corporation tax.
