Dividend Register & Vouchers

Overview

Paying a dividend from a limited company involves more than moving money. You need enough distributable profits, a proper decision (board minutes for an interim dividend, a members' resolution for a final dividend), a dividend voucher for every shareholder, and a record of who received what in each tax year. This workbook does all of that from one register of shareholders and one log of declarations.

Who it is for

Made for people like you

  • Example – text
  • Owner-managed companies – Correct paperwork for every dividend, so it stands up if HMRC or a lender asks.
  • Family companies with several share classes – Different rates per class (alphabet shares) with each person's entitlement worked out from the register.
  • Directors planning their pay – A reserves check before you declare, and an estimate of each shareholder's personal dividend tax.
  • Bookkeepers and accountants – A full dividend history by accounting period and tax year, ready for the accounts and tax returns.

Quick start

Up and running in minutes

  1. Example – text
  1. Settings – company – Enter the company name, number, registered office, who signs the vouchers, and the tax year for the summary.
  2. Settings – share classes – List each class with its nominal value, number of shares in issue and whether it carries votes.
  3. Settings – directors and periods – Add the directors (the first one chairs board meetings) and your accounting periods – the first start date and each year end.
  4. Shareholders – One row per person per class: name, address, class, shares held, and the dates they acquired (and, if sold, ceased to hold) the shares.
  5. Reserves – Enter the opening retained profits from the last accounts and the profit after tax for each period (final accounts, or management accounts to date for the current period).
  6. Check a proposed dividend – Try the rate on the Reserves sheet first. If it shows STOP, don't declare it.
  7. Declarations – Log the dividend: date declared, payment date, Interim or Final, class and rate per share. Everything else follows.
  8. Print the paperwork – Board Minutes (interim) or Written Resolution (final), then a Voucher for each shareholder.
