Employer pension contributions
Company pension contributions reduce your taxable profit — saving 19–25% in corporation tax. A £10,000 pension contribution at the 25% rate saves £2,500 in corporation tax. Enter a pension amount in the limited company tax calculator above to see the impact.
Director salary optimisation
The most tax-efficient salary is usually £12,570 — the personal allowance. This avoids income tax on the salary while the cost deducts from corporation tax.
