How dividends are taxed in 2026/27
Above the £500 dividend allowance, dividends are taxed at 10.75% in the basic band, 35.75% in the higher band and 39.35% in the additional band — the 2026/27 rates. Your salary uses your personal allowance first, and dividends stack on top.
The most efficient mix depends on your company profits, other income and pension plans. Our contractor accountants model it properly before you take a penny.
