Salary, Dividends & Taking Money From Your Company
One of the most common questions contractors ask is:
“How should I pay myself?“
There is no one-size-fits-all answer.
The right approach can depend on:
• Your company’s available profits
• Other income you receive
• Your personal tax position
• Current tax rates and allowances
• How much money you need personally
• How much you want to retain in the company
We can help you understand an appropriate salary and dividend approach for your circumstances.
The aim isn’t simply to produce a calculation.
It’s to help you understand what you can take, what tax may be due and what should stay in the company.

Common areas include:
• Professional subscriptions

• Computer equipment
• Software
• Telephone costs
• Training
• Travel
• Accommodation
• Working from home
We can help you understand what is appropriate for your company so you are not relying on generic advice from forums or social media.

Working Through an Agency?
Many outside IR35 contractors obtain work through recruitment agencies or intermediaries.
That can mean dealing with:
• Agency agreements
• Client contracts
• Timesheets
• Purchase orders
• Different payment terms
• Multiple engagements
We understand how contractor income flows through these arrangements and can help keep the accounting side organised.
You shouldn’t have to explain how contracting works every time you speak to your accountant.

Taking an Inside IR35 Contract Later?
Taking an inside IR35 engagement does not automatically mean your limited company needs to close.
If you expect to use the company again, or it has retained profits, cash or existing obligations, it is worth considering the accounting and tax implications before making changes.
Speak to us before making major decisions about the company.
For detailed questions about status and the IR35 rules, visit our IR35 FAQs.

Why Use a Specialist Contractor Accountant?
Contractors often operate differently from traditional small businesses.
Contracts start and finish.
Clients change.
Income can fluctuate.
You may move between limited-company, umbrella and PAYE arrangements.
You may also need to plan for periods between contracts.
That’s why working with an accountant who already understands contractors can make a real difference.
