EXTRACTING PROFIT FROM THE FAMILY COMPANY
The start of the new tax year means that shareholder/ directors may want to review the salary and dividend mix for 2019/20.
The £3,000 employment allowance continues to be available to set against the employers national insurance contribution (NIC) liability which means that where the company has not used this allowance it may be set against the employers NIC on directors’ salaries.
TAX PLANNING TO MINIMISE THE HIGH INCOME CHILD BENEFIT CHARGE

However, that same figure is the point at which child benefit starts being clawed back and there has been no increase in that threshold since the High Income Child Benefit Charge was introduced in 2013/14.
