Ok. Time has come to take a risk in my life. Stepping out of secure employment after 32 years to go it alone. I have built up a suitable and workable pension pot so I have 6 years to fill.
I am pretty clear that limited liability is way to go. I expect to pull in about 65000 with about 10000 costs. I understand that I can pay myself 8000 to not pay NI etc that leaves a dividend of about 47000. This is where I get unclear. Do I pay both cooperation and dividend tax on the remainder ( new tax regime in 2016 I believe) or are they the same thing? Any other advice about what can be included in costs etc appreciated. Many thanks
