We have a client company with a sole director/shareholder. The Inland Revenue has agreed that the company is not within the IR35 rules. The company supplies quality assurance services. Currently, it has £200,000 in the bank and has no other significant assets or liabilities. The director intends trading for the foreseeable future. In addition to running his own company, the director is also a full-time employee of another, unconnected, company and any dividend from his business will therefore be taxed at 40%.

We have a client company with a sole director/shareholder. The Inland Revenue has agreed that the company is not within the IR35 rules.

The company supplies quality assurance services. Currently it has £200 000 in the bank and has no other significant assets or liabilities. The director intends trading for the foreseeable future. In addition to running his own company the director is also a full-time employee of another unconnected company and any dividend from his business will therefore be taxed at 40%.

The company trades from the director's house and has no need to acquire property which might have been done via a small self-administered pension scheme.

The simple question is: how can the director/shareholder access his company's funds with minimal taxation effect?
