Dividend Tax

Dividend Tax

Postby marksr on Thu Jul 21, 2011 11:54 am

Please help - this may be a basic question, but I'm confused at my accountants answer (not in plain speak!)

This tax year I will have a PAYE income of approx £32,000 made up of salary and pension - all taxed at 20% currently. I have also set up a ltd company and now freelance in what I do. I predict I will have dividends of approx £30,000.

My question is, how much of the dividend income should I set aside for dividend tax ?

Many thanks

£32,000 - £7,475 = £24,525

Tax @ 20% = £4,905

Gross dividend £33,333 taxed: [£10,475 @ 10% + £22,858 @ 32.5%] - £3,333 = £8,476 - £3,333 = £5,143.

£5,143.
