There's roughly £12,000 tax free allowance on salaries and only £2500 on dividends. The common recommendation is to maximize your tax free allowance (pay yourself 12k PAYE) and then pay out anything else as dividends (though dividends legally require you operate at a profit).


Yep, totally understand that.

That's the standard common advice that I'm referring to and that the post I replied to seemed to suggest is not what a (better) accountant would recommend.

Unless I'm interpreting that post incorrectly.
