hello everyone - hope the storms arent effecting you all too badly
I am a sole director / shareholder of my company, its a PSC and there are no other employees - my accountant has been processing monthly payroll at a basic rate of £650.00 which means that I am only entitled to 90% of 650 for the first number of weeks - I would much rather he has processed a "proper" wage which would have enabled me to claim 90% of a higher value - sorry if this may be a stupid question, but with the payment of SMP and I correct in thinking that HMRC only pay the £139 "basic" SMP each week or do they also pay the 90% of qualifying earnings? Also, is there anything I can do to make this position better? Not sure if I can change the payroll submissions to a higher amount and reduce the dividends I have taken to compensate, help?
