@360.accounts: Most directors we sit down with arrive having already decided their salary. That number is usually the last thing we'd start with. Setting the "right" salary feels like the big tax lever. In practice, it's rarely where the real saving lives. When we look at the full picture for a limited company director, the bigger wins almost always sit somewhere else: 1. The dividend mix. How much you take, when, and in what proportion to salary often matters more than the salary figure itself. 2. The timing of profit extraction. Pulling money out in March vs. April, or splitting across two tax years, can shift your bill meaningfully without changing what you actually earn. 3. The structure itself. Sometimes the question isn't "what salary should I pay myself?" It's "is a limited company still the right vehicle for where the business is now?" None of this is more complicated than what most directors are already doing. It's just a different starting point. Start with the extraction strategy. Let the salary number fall out of that, not the other way round. If you're a director-shareholder in Surrey reviewing your 2026/27 position, happy to take a proper look before you lock the number in.
