Dividends before 31st March, 2004
Should all profits below £10,000 be withdrawn as dividends for the last 2 years now?
My wife has a company and she is the sole shareholder.
Profits for Y/E 31st March, 2003 were £9249.
Profits for Y/E 31st March, 2004 will be £9943.
Should the company declare a total dividend of £19,192 (£9249+£9943) before 31st March, 2004?
Should this be two separate dividends or one single?
Would the following figures be correct?
Gross dividend £21,324.44
Tax Credit £2,132.44
Net dividend £19,192.00
Is it the case that no tax is paid by the company?
Thanks
