Personal tax · Directors & shareholders

Your personal tax return, sorted.

As a company director or shareholder, your personal tax return is tied to how you take money out of your business. We handle the return and plan the salary-and-dividend mix around it, so you stay compliant and keep more of what you earn.

Your company tax and your personal tax are connected.

How you pay yourself, your dividends, your pension contributions and any other income all come together on your self assessment return. They need to be planned together, alongside the company's figures, because a decision on one side changes the tax on the other.

Let's fix it

You leave your return until January and hope the bill isn't as bad as last year.

Nobody's joining the dots between your dividends, your salary and your personal tax.

You're not sure if you're taking profit in the most tax-efficient way.

Payments on account catch you out and the cash-flow timing hurts.

What you get

The return, and the planning behind it.

We prepare the return, but most of the work happens earlier in the year, planning how you take money out so that the bill is as low as it legitimately can be.

Your SA100 return prepared & filed

All your income (salary, dividends, benefits, property, savings) reported accurately and filed on time with HMRC.

Salary & dividend planning

We set the most tax-efficient mix of salary and dividends for you as a director, in step with the company accounts.

Your bill, explained early

You know what you owe and when (including payments on account) with time to plan for it.

Reliefs & allowances used

Pension contributions, the dividend and personal allowances, marriage allowance and more, all applied where they help.

Joined up with the company

Your personal return and your company's accounts are handled by the same team, so nothing falls between the two.

Good to know

Self Assessment for Directors, answered.

Do I need to file a self assessment as a director?

If you take dividends, have other untaxed income, or HMRC has issued you a notice to file, then yes. Even when it isn't strictly required, filing is often worthwhile to claim reliefs. We'll tell you clearly what applies to you.

How are dividends taxed in 2026/27?

You get a £500 tax-free dividend allowance, then dividends are taxed at 10.75% (basic), 35.75% (higher) and 39.35% (additional rate) depending on your total income. Note that the basic and higher rates both rose by 2% from 6 April 2026. For most directors the planning lies in the balance between salary and dividends, and we work through that with you.

What are payments on account?

If your tax bill is over £1,000 and mostly not collected at source, HMRC asks you to pay next year's tax in two instalments on account (31 January and 31 July). We forecast these so that the timing does not catch you out, and reduce them where your income has fallen.

When is the deadline?

Online returns and payment are due by 31 January following the tax year (which ends 5 April). We aim to have yours done long before then, so that you have time to plan for the payment.
