Ian McMonagle, Russell & Russell
Ian will cover the legal and tax aspects of dividends received from companies and, in particular, owner-managed businesses rather than dividends from shares on the stock exchange, etc.
Another tax year has started and, as always in the world of tax, nothing stays the same. There are a number of methods of
extracting funds from your own limited company and in this Briefing we consider the main options for extracting profit.
What is Seed EIS?
Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) is the most
generous, tax-advantaged venture capital scheme ever
introduced that offers investors enhanced income tax
and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) reliefs.
Higher rate tax payers and profitable business owners now have a low hurdle threshold to recover up to £50,000 income tax annually.
The 2014 Budget has made this a permanent feature of UK tax savings schemes and this Guide highlights the main conditions that need to be satisfied, but the conditions are complex and you should take professional advice before making an investment.
Sponsored by our partners at Taxwise and Ashfords, this event consists of a variety of topics that our clients are telling us are giving them the biggest challenges.
Our Spring Tax Update will be taking place across the region between the 8th and 10th March 2017.
The update will include the following:
•An update on the latest HMRC consultations
•Analysis of the tax announcements in the 2017 Budget
•A review of the current property tax environment
•The latest on Making Tax Digital and interaction with cloud accounting
Different types of income have different tax rates. Shift income to exploit the lower tax rates. For example, income from investments such as qualified dividends are taxed at lower rates than ordinary income. Retirement accounts defer income from high tax bracket years to lower. Business structure affects the taxes you pay. Real estate investments offset income with depreciation expenses. Don't be a HENRY!
On Wednesday 16 March the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, will deliver his second coalition-free budget speech setting out the Government's plans for the economy based on the latest forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility as well as any proposals for changes to taxation.
There is little doubt that the Chancellor will continue on his path of austerity, particularly in driving down Government overheads and closing tax avoidance loopholes to fulfil his aim of eliminating the deficit by the end of the decade, but there are challenges ahead. The extended honeymoon of close to zero inflation will end during 2016 and as the rate of inflation rises, the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee is likely to follow suit by raising interest rates and businesses will need to factor this in when planning ahead.
Our tax partners and consultants will be analysing the measures taken in the Budget and we will be presenting our analysis and commentaries.

Whilst uncertainty is unhelpful to many in the sector, the delay to Brexit has seen a continuing boom in the commercial property market in the South West, with 1.7m square feet of space coming on stream over the last 12 months – concentrated in the industrial and logistic sectors. What is clear is that those in the property sector, whether developer, landlord, investor or landowner need to concentrate on exploiting opportunities and managing costs wherever possible.
Property is still a key asset, giving strong income returns and means of capital preservation for the investor and wider family. Our highly knowledgeable and experienced advisers will offer practical, constructive insights and advice
With over 300 debt finance options currently available to businesses, we thought it timely to have a look at that market.

This month’s Breakfast Briefing is based on the hottest topic in company ownership – Employee Ownership Trusts.
South West firm, Paradigm Norton is the latest business to make headlines by becoming employee owned. It follows hot on the heels of Richer Sounds joining the most well-known employee owned company, John Lewis. High street staple Lush has also started the journey.
PKF Francis Clark will be joined by Christian Wilson from Stephens Scown to look at the Employee Ownership Trust model from a legal and tax perspective. We will also hear some of the factors that are stimulating increasing interest in the model, including the results of research showing that the greater staff engagement and lower staff turnover associated with this model helps to employee owned companies to achieve:
- Sales increase of 4.6% per year
- EBITDA increase of 25.5% per year
- Productivity increase of 4.5% per year
We will also consider some of the practical issues to be considered in deciding whether this is an option to pursue and in implementation. There will be a brief mention of some other related (i.e., employee engagement) issues.
The seminar is timed to coincide with the expected publication dates of the new Academies Financial Handbook and the new Academies Accounts Direction. We will cover the main changes in a clear and understandable way.

Our intention is for the seminars to be relaxed and informal, offering you opportunities to ask questions and to meet your counterparts from other Trusts.
Topics include:
• Update on the Academies Accounts Direction
• Update on the Academies Financial Handbook
• What does a good board look like?
• Integrated Curriculum Financial Planning

India Orthopedic Devices Market: Unlocking Growth Secrets, Trends and Develop...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, “India Orthopedic Devices Market -Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030”, the India Orthopedic Devices Market stood at USD 1,280.54 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.84% in the forecast period, 2026-2030F. The India Orthopedic Devices Market is being driven by several factors. The most prominent ones include an increase in the elderly population, who are more prone to orthopedic conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Moreover, the rise in sports injuries and road accidents are also contributing to the demand for orthopedic devices. Advances in technology and the introduction of innovative implants and prosthetics have further propelled the market growth. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases have led to an upward trend in orthopedic surgeries, thereby fueling the market demand for these devices.

What are we going to cover?
• Tax on business profits
• Tax relief on investment back into the business
• Tax on cash extraction
• Tax efficient investment
• Tax on indirect profit extraction / benefits in kind
• Tax on residential landlords
7. www.francisclark.co.uk
Tax principles for different structures
• Profits arising in a sole trader or partnership are added to the other
sources of income that the sole trader / partner has and tax is
charged at personal income tax rates
• Partners in an LLP are taxed as above.
• Companies are not subject to income tax but instead pay
corporation tax. Owner managers only pay additional tax if they
extract profits from the company.
8. www.francisclark.co.uk
Tax & National Insurance rates on profits
(working age owners)
Further Considerations;
• Corporation Tax Rate to be reduced to 19% in 2017/18, and to
reduce further to 18% in 2020/21 so the gap is going to get bigger!
Basic Rate Higher Rate Additional
Rate
Sole Trade/Partnership/LLP 29% 42% 47%
Company 20% 20% 20%
9. www.francisclark.co.uk
So what conclusions can we draw so far?
• If the business needs to retain profits then a company structure
offers a much lower tax environment meaning that more profit can
be retained.
• Why might we want to retain profits?
- To make debt repayments
- To make capital investments
- To expand the business and grow
10. www.francisclark.co.uk
Other options for the family business
• Bring family members into business as partners to share profits
• This can help to ensure that profits remain taxed at lower rates
without the need to move to a company structure
• Avoids complication of running a company
• If bringing them in as partners is inappropriate are all family
members paid properly? Could salaries be increased to ensure
better use of “family” tax bands?
11. www.francisclark.co.uk
But what if you can take all the cash out?
Comparison of tax rates between Sole Trade, Partnerships and
Companies where all profits made in a year are to be extracted;
Note This ignores the dividend allowance of £5,000 and sole trader /
partnership tax rates include NIC.
Basic Rate Higher Rate Additional Rate
2015/16 Sole Trader/Partnership 29% 42% 47%
Company 20% 40% 44.4%
2016/17 Sole Trader/Partnership 29% 42% 47%
Company 26% 46% 50.5%
2017/18 Sole Trader/Partnership 29% 42% 47%
Company 25.1% 45.3% 49.9%
12. www.francisclark.co.uk
Conclusions
• For higher and additional rate tax payers in service / professional
businesses companies look less attractive going forward if you look
purely at income tax savings.
• Still beneficial for basic rate payers but benefits eroded and is the
complexity worth it?
13. www.francisclark.co.uk
Investment in the business
• Profits invested back into the business may attract further tax relief
depending on what you do with them
• Pay down debt (capital not interest) – no tax relief
• Invest in land and buildings mostly no tax relief but could be some
via Capital Allowances on fixtures or other limited reliefs
• Buy plant , vehicles etc there is tax relief in the form of Capital
Allowances
• Undertake Research and Development and generous reliefs are
available.
14. www.francisclark.co.uk
Investment in the business on plant
and machinery
• Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) is an immediate 100% tax relief
for capital expenditure on qualifying plant and machinery used in the
business including fixtures in buildings.
• Currently the maximum amount of expenditure in a year that can
qualify for AIA in £500,000.
• From 1 January 2016 the maximum is reduced to £200,000.
• Expenditure in excess of these levels receives writing down
allowances at rate of 18%/8% on a reducing balance basis unless it
is in a separately favoured category such as Environmentally
Favoured Kit in which case 100% relief may still be due.
• For periods spanning 1 January 2016 the AIA transitional rules will
bite.
15. www.francisclark.co.uk
Practical steps
• Timing – bring expenditure forwards?
• If you cannot bring the expenditure forward you might improve your
position by changing your year end. But remember this is a timing
difference and there probably need to be other commercial reasons
for a change of year end
• Check that what you are buying does not get a 100% allowance
outside of the AIA limit (i.e. environmentally friendly kit)
• If the item concerned is likely to be sold within 8 years think about
“Short Life Asset Elections” this can accelerate allowances and will
be important going forwards
16. www.francisclark.co.uk
Capital Allowances in buildings
• Capital Allowances on ‘Fixtures’ in a Commercial
Property/Furnished Holiday Let .
• New rules for transactions post 1 April 2014 whereby need to fix the
value of “fixtures” between buyer and seller at date of disposal.
• Failure to do so may result in the building losing tax allowances
moving forwards.
17. www.francisclark.co.uk
Other land and property based reliefs
• Generally no tax relief for expenditure on land or on buildings (apart
from plant and fixtures therein as already mentioned)
• Business Premises Renovation Allowance (BPRA). Has potential to
give 100% tax relief for the renovation of unused business premises
in disadvantaged areas. Due to end in March 2017
• Land remediation relief, get 150% relief on clean up costs as long
as you didn’t do it! Exception Japanese Knotweed. But for
companies only.
18. www.francisclark.co.uk
Research and Development tax credits
• Companies only.
• For SME’s 230% tax relief for qualifying expenditure.
• SME- Turnover up to 100M Euros, 500 employees, assets 86 M
Euros
• If loss making can claim a repayable amount in the sum of 14.5% of
the enhanced R & D expenditure.
• Lots more industries coming in particularly food and drink.
• Key question is what is R & D?
19. www.francisclark.co.uk
So if you don’t need to invest how
do you get your hands on the cash?
• As previously outlined sole traders / partners already own profits so
there is no concept of “extraction”. They pay tax on profits whether
drawn personally or not.
• Conversely, profits belong to a company until they are extracted by
a shareholder. Common ways of extraction include;
o Salary
o Dividend
o Interest on loans
o Rental of assets used by the business but owned personally
o Pension contributions
o Benefits in kind (cars etc)
20. www.francisclark.co.uk
Increase in dividend tax!
Dividends were great!
But is that still the case?
The above are effective rates of tax on net cash drawn.
Old Rate New Tax Rate Increase in Tax
Basic Rate
Taxpayer
0% 7.5% 7.5%
Higher Rate
Taxpayer
25% 32.5% 7.5%
Additional Rate
Taxpayer
30.55% 38.1% 7.5%
21. www.francisclark.co.uk
Do we still love dividends?
• Dividends have generally always been more efficient that salary
• Why?- Because whilst you don’t get corporation tax relief on them,
they are not liable to National Insurance
• The lack of NI and the way that additional corporation tax and the
income tax on the dividend combined meant that you retained more
cash from a dividend than salary.
• With the extra tax on dividends is that still true?
22. www.francisclark.co.uk
Some examples
So lets consider a company has £100 of profit that it is happy to pay to
an employee / shareholder. It doesn’t care how it does it as long as the
cost to the company is only £100. How much cash will the recipient
retain under dividend or salary?

However, good news for some!
• From 5th April 2016 a new £5,000 exemption from tax for dividend
income
• However, not a massive benefit to the owner manager where most
of the profits have historically been extracted by way of dividend
• For a higher rate tax payer the new tax exemption is outweighed by
the additional tax once dividend income exceeds approx £22K.
• Consider widening share ownership around the family to gain
multiple exemptions? Needs careful thought!
24. www.francisclark.co.uk
So do we still love dividends?
• Yes we do, just not quite as much!
• Some may make the decision that given the reduction in saving the
simplicity of a net wage has appeal
• Other benefits re mortgage applications etc
• Ongoing consultation by government into the taxation of company
distributions. So watch this space.
• Possibly different dividend rules for owner / managers
• May target income disguised as capital
25. www.francisclark.co.uk
New dividend tax
Opportunities
• Pay a large dividend now if the business has distributable reserves?
• Generally we like to delay tax liabilities but for some it may be worth
paying less tax sooner!
• Do not forget that whilst the company must have the reserves, this
does not have to be paid by the company in cash instantly and can
stand on a loan account and paid when cash flow allows.
26. www.francisclark.co.uk
Interest on loans
• If you lend money to your limited company you can charge interest
on it. Maybe an undrawn dividend!
• From April 2016 basic rate tax payers get first £1K of interest tax
exempt reduced to £500 for higher rate tax payers.
• Rate charged needs to be commercial but plenty of scope.
• Company will get corporation tax relief and recipient suffers income
tax
• Interest even above limit beats dividend (above £5k), so go here
first.
27. www.francisclark.co.uk
Rental of assets owned personally
• In reality probably talking about premises
• Business gets tax relief on rent
• Owner pays income tax
• Beats salary or dividends (above £5k)
• Same tax cost as interest
• However some significant capital taxes issues so think carefully.
28. www.francisclark.co.uk
Pensions
• Was a dirty word but not any more.
• Company can pay into a pension and generally get corporation tax
relief. No personal tax on individual at this point.
• Tax deductible for Company providing the expense is ‘wholly and
exclusively’ for the purposes of the trade.
• If aged 55 or over it can be possible to immediately access 25% of
the contribution “tax free” without any adverse consequences
• Other funds can then all be accessed at a later date but subject to
tax
• Think of the pension scheme as a tax efficient “parking space”

Company vehicles
• An emotive subject!
• No income tax liability arises on an employee who is provided with a
van and takes it from home to work providing no other private use.
• If there is private use then a fixed rate tax charge applies
• No income tax charge arises on a car used 100% for business
purposes but difficult to support!
• Income tax charge arises on a car provided to employee where any
private use including home to work.
55. www.francisclark.co.uk
Company vans
Provision of a Van for employees
• Where private use, tax is based on a deemed charge – 2016/17
£3,170 assessed at the individuals marginal rate of tax.
• Fuel benefit – 2016/17 – £598 where private use of van and private
provision of fuel.
• Class 1A NIC (13.8%) payable by the company on the provision of
any benefit.
• Tax payable by a basic rate taxpayer in 2016/17 who is provided
with a van for private use and fuel - £754.
56. www.francisclark.co.uk
Company cars
The tax charge arising on the provision of a car is arrived at by
multiplying the list price of the car when new by a percentage
determined by its CO2 emissions. The appropriate percentage for cars
with CO2 emissions figures are as follows;
A diesel supplement of 3% is applied to diesel cars for each level of
CO2 emissions in the table above but so that that the maximum levels
of 37% and 35% are not exceeded.
CO2 – g/km 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17
0 0% 5% 7%
1-50 5% 5% 7%
51-75 5% 9% 11%
76-94 11% 13% 15%
Each 5g/km Add 1% Add 1% Add 1%
Maximum 35% 37% 37%
57. www.francisclark.co.uk
Some thoughts on cars
• What is a van? Double cabs ok providing capable of carrying
1000KG
• However Combi vans etc could be questionable.
• As cars get cleaner the percentages are going up for given C02
levels but the list price doesn’t change. So as your car is getting
older the tax cost is going up. Older cars in companies generally a
bad idea!
• Second cars in families can still make sense, need to look at the
numbers.
• Separate charges arise on provision of fuel based on a flat rate of
£22,200 from April 2016 multiplied by the relevant percentage.
Rarely worth the cost but pay for simplicity?
58. www.francisclark.co.uk
Residential landlords under attack
• Income tax relief on interest on borrowings used to finance
residential lettings is being restricted for individuals.
• Phased in over 4 years from 2017.
• Will restrict tax relief to basic rate
• For individual landlords with substantial borrowings tax increases
are significant.
59. www.francisclark.co.uk
Residential landlords under attack
• CGT to be payable within 30 days of property disposal from 2019.
• 3% additional SDLT for purchasers after April 2016.
• Many looking at incorporation but not straightforward and needs
significant thought.
• Availability of finance as a corporate structure will be an issue for
many.

Editor's Notes
Income tax figure of £11,375 assumes £5k dividend allowance is available: 50,000 – 10,000 – 5,000 = 35,000.
35,000 x 32.5% = 11,375
NI figure includes ER and EE contributions
£50k profit, less £10k corporation tax = £40k dividend payable.
40k less £5k dividend allowance = £35k.
£35k x 32.5% = 11375
60k income tax relief assumes carry back is used to get two years’ worth of relief.
(this is a new example, director now earning considerably more than 50k)
