| Band | 2025/26 | 2026/27 |
|---|---|---|
| Dividend allowance | £500 | £500 |
| Basic rate | 8.75% | 10.75% |
| Higher rate | 33.75% | 35.75% |
| Additional rate | 39.35% | 39.35% |
In short: your personal allowance is used against salary and other income first. Dividends sit on top. The first £500 of dividends is tax-free, then the rest is taxed at 10.75%, 35.75% or 39.35% depending on which band it falls into.
A director takes a £12,570 salary and £40,000 of dividends. The salary uses the personal allowance. £500 of dividends is tax-free, £37,200 falls in the basic band at 10.75% and £2,300 in the higher band at 35.75%. Dividend tax is about £4,821.
With higher dividend rates and employer National Insurance at 15%, the best mix has changed. Our business tax planning service models it with your real figures, and our company director tax returns service files your return. More on our tax calculators page.
