Yep, you have to love those dividends... pay reduced tax and let the company pay the makeup. Best way to pay yourself if you own a company. Take a low wage to keep yourself under higher tax brackets, let the company lease your cars, work as much as you can via the company as legally as possible (fine line) then dump the dividends and let the company pickup some of the tax offset. I think UK & Australian laws are quite similar, both being commonwealth...
