Excellent reference for any small business owner!Mrs M E Cunnington
I have been reading Nick's books now for several years and always find them really easy to read and understand. They cut through the complexity of tax changes and provide clear information on the best approach for dealing with dividends and salary questions. I particularly like the very clear examples provided in the guide as these can easily be transferred to my situation..
An excellent guidebookA H Rayaz
As an accountant directors are always asking us about the most tax efficient way to withdraw money from their company. With significant changes to the taxation of dividends, it has become a lot more complex area to advise on. This book is an excellent source of information with many examples and tables which show the taxes due in a various scenarios… This book is not limited to just salary v dividends but also discusses other options.
