Hi Reader,

We’ve just released our latest YouTube video:

👉 “Are You Making a Mistake When Paying Yourself From a UK Limited Company in 2025/26?” 🎥 Watch on YouTube​

You’ve probably seen the figure £12,570 mentioned everywhere as the most tax-efficient salary to take out of your limited company.

But is it really the best number?

In the video, we cover:

  • Why this salary figure is so popular - and when it makes sense
  • When not to use it
  • How your decision affects pensions, rent and mortgage applications, and admin
  • A free spreadsheet tool to test different take-home scenarios (which as a BoB Band Member you can download here)

As always, our goal is to help you make the right choices for your situation whether you're running a side hustle, aiming for investment, or just trying to get your head around what’s “tax-efficient”.

And not just copy what everyone else on the Internet is doing!
