How to Pay Yourself from a Limited Company UK | Best Way to Pay Yourself as a Director in 2024/2025
Discover the Best Way to Pay Yourself as a Director of a Limited Company for the Tax Year 2024/2025.
As a director of a limited company, determining the most tax-efficient salary for yourself is crucial. Let's delve into the recommended salary approved by accountants for this fiscal year.
Salaries exceeding this threshold face double taxation, subject to both employer's NI at 13.8% and employee's NI at 8%. Hence, diverting dividends above the primary threshold proves a wiser approach, as NI doesn't apply to dividends.
Income tax and NI thresholds remain unchanged this year. Frozen thresholds, combined with rising salaries, translate to increased tax revenues for the government.
Combining a basic salary with dividends typically emerges as the most tax-efficient remuneration method from a limited business. Basic salary usage maximises the tax-free personal allowance, while dividends offer a favourable tax regime compared to the conventional income tax and NI combo.
Nevertheless, individual circumstances may warrant a full PAYE salary. It's advisable to consult an accountant to ascertain the ideal director's salary for your limited business.
For the 2024/2025 fiscal year, income tax rates and thresholds are as follows:
- Personal allowance: £12,570 (0%)
- Basic rate: £12,571 to £50,270 (20%)
- Higher rate: £50,271 to £125,140 (40%)
- Additional rate: £125,140+ (45%)
On the other hand, dividend tax rates and thresholds for the same period are:
- Basic rate: £13,071 to £50,270 (8.75%)
- Higher rate: £50,271 to £125,140 (33.75%)
- Additional rate: £125,140+ (39.35%)
Key Facts About Dividends:
- Payable to shareholders from current or retained profits
- Can be disbursed monthly, quarterly, or annually
- Taxed via self-assessment
- Tax-free dividend allowance for 2024/2025: £500
National Insurance rates and thresholds for 2024/2025 include:
- Lower Earnings Limit (Pension Threshold): £6,396 per year
- Primary Threshold (Employees): £12,570 per year
- Employees Rate: 8% up to £50,270, 2% thereafter
- Secondary Threshold (Employers): £9,100 per year
- Employers NI: 13.8% above the secondary threshold
Corporation tax rates and thresholds for 2024/2025:
- Less than £50,000 (Small Profits Rate): 19%
- £50,001 to £250,000: Marginal Relief
- £250,000+: 25%
Most Tax-Efficient Director’s Salary for 2024/2025:
- Recommended Salary: £12,570 per year / £1047.50 per month (Dividends for amounts above)
- Utilizes personal allowance fully
- Above LEL threshold for state pension eligibility
- Below primary threshold (no employee NI)
Corporation tax savings on allowable business expenses:
- Salary
- National Insurance
- Pensions
The costs below can be expensed if solely used for your business:
- Startup costs (can be claimed up to 7 years before the company starts trading)
- Health check and eye test expenses (if you use computer screens as a big part of your job)
- Business insurance expenses
- Advertising, marketing and PR expenses
- Accommodation expenses for business trips
- Bank charges
- Phone bills
- Equipment expenses including phones, computers and more.

    Very useful. However, does auto enrollment for pensions apply to directors like other employees?I am not impressed with the expensive auto enrollment options available, hence have limited salary to £750pm to avoid employers NI and to avoid auto enrollment (company pays into a SIPP instead).

    Your videos are a treasure trove of helpful tutorials! When it comes to filling in the job title for the director, is that the last job they were doing? If they're currently not working, can you put in n/a? Also, if the director is a nonresident, under home address, would that be the address where they're currently living or can it be an accountant's address?

As I know that creating just a company is not enough. Obviously we need bank accounts etc and all that depends on the addresses. Which I totally don't understand how it will work.

You should be able to order a UK simcard to a PO address which can forward the simcard/uk number to your address in Nigeria. Hope that helps!
