What is the UK dividend tax rate and how does it affect small business owners?
Hi all! I’m taking dividends from my small UK company and I’m a bit confused about the tax rules. I’ve heard there’s a specific dividend tax rate, separate from income tax, but I’m not sure how it’s calculated or what the current rates are.Could anyone explain this in simple terms or share personal experience managing dividends?
