    Out of interest, what is the advantage in buying shares through a limited company?
    It’s probably not. It’s simply that I have other income streams (BTL profit), meaning my income is reasonably high already, and so taking it out as dividends involves paying lots of it in tax before I can invest.
    If the company invests, I’m using money on which corporation tax has already been paid.
    My accountant and IFA have been happy with it, up to now.
    I’m not talking about huge numbers.
    Your company is funding your pension plan to the maximum allowed?
