If you are earning enough self employed to make taking a massive dividend worth it you are only going to cause trouble/suspicion with the taxman if you pay yourself min wage. Better to pay yourself like £25k and take dividend, max allowance for mileage, "entertaining" allowance, company party etc than take the michael. Its about staying under the radar....
now that makes a lot of sense cheers for explaining as im not really in the know i only work for someone and take home a lowly £400 pw
