    The key question for me isn't what you've taken out in wages, but what is the net profit is before tax for each of the three years?

    (It may be worth talking to your accountant about more tax efficient ways of removing your income from the business).
  • gross first year 57.000
    gross second year 79.000
    gross third year 130.000

    i understand you asked for net figures but i dont have these figures sorry
