First you need to jump in your car and accelerate until you reach 42.944 yards per second (preferably along a jetty)

Could you please suggest the most tax efficient way for him to withdraw money from their business bank account?
Definitely worth the individual speaking to an accountant.

His first mistake was starting his business without seeking proper advice from a competent accountant. I think he needs to correct that soon. Third time lucky.
Were you a nurse earlier? And had Peter also posted anonymously, I would have assumed he'd previously had a year end of 31 March.

You will need to prepare calculations on the optimal salary/dividend combination maybe with a higher salary given his age. Dividends would depend on distributable profits and not the amount in the bank.
You can't change last year so he has wasted his allowances.
The one you were looking for was, tax planning.
A bit like family planning, best done in advance.
As an aside, are you happy this non pension receiving, non income, director could have existed for two years with no income?
Maybe his spouse supports him, maybe he is asset rich and has been using his savings, but given circumstance I think I would want a file note demonstrating I had considered his circumstances given he appears to have no visible means of support (unless there are visible means of support)
I thought it was pretty obvious - his company needs to make a pension contribution of £1.03m
