in Cutting tax
Hello
I am sole person Limited company. I pay myself £800 and top up each year through dividends. I recently sold a house and have come into £100k. I have put £20k into a isa. But have £80k to save/invest. I'd like to put the money into a savings account but no idea what I would be taxed on it. Thanks in advance.

That all depends on exactly what other non savings non dividend income you have.
If if is just the £9,600 and you haven't applied for Marriage Allowance then you will have some spare Personal Allowance left to use.
And the savings starter rate band (£5,000 interest taxed at 0%)
And then the savings nil rate band (up to £1,000 interest taxed at 0%)
Both of those rate bands form part of the basic rate band so by using them you will have less dividend income which can be taxed at basic rate.
The £1,000 dividend nil rate band also uses up part of the basic rate band (assuming you aren't already into higher rates when that applies).0
