Hi there,

I was just wondering that how do you calculate the dividends. I have been to my accountant and he calculated total dividends/0.9 is it correct way to calculate? For example my salary+dividends are: £32,800 in total for 12 months, and when i make it 32800/0.9= 36,444. which is the figure i need for the my threshold. It could be an accountancy term but would like the second opinion as well. thanks

When you take dividends the amount is net dividends, when it comes to calculate the dividends issued to you it should be gross so if you receive £1,000 you actually received £1,111. its same like you receive net salary after tax but your actual salary is your gross before tax
