How dividend tax works
Dividends are taxed after your other income (salary, self-employed profits). The first £500 of dividend income is tax-free (the Dividend Allowance). After that, the rate depends on which tax band the dividends fall into:
- Basic rate band: 8.75%
- Higher rate band: 33.75%
- Additional rate band: 39.35%
Dividends do not attract National Insurance. If you pay yourself a small salary and take the rest as dividends, you can significantly reduce your overall tax bill — though this only works through a limited company.
