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....

Grand' pw is still a decent whack for lot's of people.

As a self employed Kitchen fitter, 0n average probably onlydo a 'bag 'o sand' about a dozen weeks each year. ( £6-£800 pw rest of time)

If I could be arsed to do the odd Saturday,a few privates & stay on site past the usual 3 pm finish, then could do £50k gross a year.

But for me, the ammount of quality 'Family time' I get (especially with the kids) is much more important than chasing a few more pound notes

Cheers

I took a bit of a paycut in my current job, im down to 25k plus 10% min bonus, BUT, its so cushty its unreal, and that is what makes it worthwhile for me. As a service engineer i made good money, but the 60-70hrs + per week fucked me off, my standard of living was high, but quality of life was shit.

So for a little sacrifice in standard of living, my quality of life has improved 10 fold.

So i suppose what im curious of is, do those that earn 50k a year get to enjoy it?
