TAX for a LTD company

Hi,

(not sure if i put this in the right section!)
:j
I am starting up my own business and need to be sure on the tax implications!

The business will roughly earn around 30k a year I will have 1 employee who receives £8300 a year. I will pay myself £5000 a year. So I will have to pay N/I on the 1 employee not my own as it is under the threshold.

What exactly do I pay tax on do the rest unless it is expenditure??? Does the company pay tax on any dividends it pays out? (I know i will have to myself) do I pay tax on Income or profit?????

Any help would be much appreciated!!!

    As you are running a Ltd in practice you are 99% likely to need an accountant. When I set up my Ltd the accountant spent an hour with me going through all these types of questions...I'd advise getting a local accountant and doing the same. They'll be able to set up the most tax efficient scheme for paying yourself.
