If you’re not affected yet, now could be the right time to prepare.

📉 UK Dividend Tax Is Changing — Is Your Strategy Still Working?

From 6 April 2026, dividend tax rates are increasing by 2 percentage points for basic and higher-rate taxpayers.

For UK limited company owners, this is a good time to review:

✅ Salary vs dividend strategy
✅ Pension contributions
✅ Dividend timing
✅ Overall tax efficiency

Dividends can still be tax-efficient — but the right strategy needs to evolve with the rules.

📉 Dividends Just Got a Little Thinner
If you’re a UK limited company owner, it may be time to rethink your salary-and-dividend strategy.

From 6 April 2026, dividend tax rates are increasing by 2 percentage points for basic and higher-rate taxpayers.

Here’s what’s changing:

Basic rate: 10.75%
Higher rate: 35.75%
Additional rate: 39.35%
Dividend allowance has already reduced from £2,000 → £1,000 → £500
For business owners who rely heavily on dividends, this could mean a noticeable increase in their personal tax bill.

But the bigger question is:

Does the salary + dividend strategy that worked for you a couple of years ago still make sense today?

There are several areas worth reviewing, including:

✅ Salary vs dividend split
✅ Employer pension contributions
✅ Timing of dividend payments
✅ Your overall tax and compliance position

The change doesn’t mean dividends are no longer tax-efficient. It simply means the numbers need to be reviewed again.

At Brit Balance, we help UK business owners make informed decisions as tax rules evolve.
