Dividend Tool

Terms and Conditions

Please read our terms and conditions before using the dividend model. By clicking on the link below you agree to our terms and condtions.

"Use of the dividend voucher tool is restricted to the person who has downloaded it from our website, as upon doing so, the individual accepts and agrees with the terms and conditions of use".

The dividend voucher tool provided by Charlton Baker has been designed to assist you in preparing dividend vouchers and supporting company minutes as required by statute (The Companies Act 1985).

It is your responsibility as the company's shareholder(s) and officer(s) to ensure that the vouchers are prepared on a timely basis. Any retrospective dividend vouchers may be held to be invalid and in conflict with The Forgery and Conflict Act 1981.

Furthermore, it is your responsibility to ensure there are sufficient profits and cash-flow (after considering payment of Corporation Tax) to enable payment of dividends.

The model is an aid to preparing your dividend vouchers and minutes and it is your responsibility to ensure that the outputs are checked very carefully after printing. We accept no responsibility for errors caused by the model.

Charlton Baker cannot be held responsible for any deemed dividend payment made by the company, which ultimately becomes an illegal dividend payment.

IR35 – What is my Risk?

 
HMRC have developed a risk based approach to checking customers’ compliance with the intermediaries legislation known as IR35.  If you provide your own services without being paid as an employee through an intermediary such as a limited company or partnership then IR35 may apply to you.  If it does, it will affect the amount of income tax under PAYE and NIC that your intermediary will have to account for.
 
Twelve business tests have been designed to work out which ‘risk band’ HMRC believe you are in.  This does not necessarily mean that IR35 applies to you but gives you an indication if you are likely to come under HMRC scrutiny.  So what are the risk bands and what should you do?  There are three risk bands: low, medium and high.
 
Low risk means that there is a low risk HMRC will check if IR35 applies to you;
 
Medium risk means that there is a medium risk HMRC will check if IR35 applies to you – there are some pointers that IR35 applies, but there are some pointers that it does not; 
 
High risk means you are more likely to have an IR35 review than those in the medium risk band – there are likely to be several pointers that IR35 applies to you.
 
We have set out below the 12 business entity tests for you to print off and complete.  We would suggest that whatever your score, you consider talking to your advisor to discuss the result, the evidence you should collect and what future action you should take.
