I am a director of a small company (two directors). I currently receive an income of 10k gross which I would like to increase to about 11-12k

Would it be more tax efficient to increase my salary (currently on PAYE) or increase my income by a payment from the company to my pension fund?

Actually, it would be more tax efficient to reduce your salary, set up a directors pension scheme and pay more out in dividends.

I can see your point, however I am a director and not a shareholder - I would therefore not benefit from a dividend?
