Rendezvous Special For Two
Q: A friend said I can make myself redundant and pay
myself £30,000 because I’ve got a Limited Company. Is 1/4 Aromatic Crispy Duck
this correct? OR Barbecue Ribs, Crispy Seaweed & Mini Vegetable Spring Rolls
Oh no! It’s a bit like trying to sue yourself! As a Director/ Choose 3 Dishes of your choice from our selection:
Shareholder of your own Company, you’ll have no employment Sweet & Sour Chicken (HK Style)
contract, so you can’t make yourself redundant. Also, as a Beef with Green Peppers in Black Bean Sauce
Director you have a legal duty to act in the interests of the Prawns with Ginger & Spring Onions
Company - which this clearly is not. Spicy Salt & Garlic Chicken
Lemon Chicken
I assume you want to close the Company and extract the Chicken Curry
remaining Company funds, without paying Income Tax? I suggest Chicken Chow Mein
that you talk to your accountant about paying it as a Capital Satay Roast Pork
Distribution. You may pay Capital Gains Tax, (could be less than
the Income Tax you’d pay if you took it as salary or dividends). If HHH
you go ahead with the redundancy plan, HMRC would almost Egg Fried Rice, Prawn Crackers & Fortune Cookies
certainly charge you Income Tax and National Insurance on the £19.99 (Menu price £27.10)
Special meal cannot be changed • Available until 24th November 2013
“redundancy” money – plus penalties and interest.
