I have a Client who insists he can pay himself the minimum salary on PAYE through his Limited Company and then draw a Tax Free £50K bonus at the Year End. I think he is in wishfull thinking land and, possibly getting confused with Director's Loans ( although even these are not Tax Free ). Any one know of such a sceme ? If so, we can all join it.

He's an idiot, I'm afraid.
He may be thinking of being able to draw a dividend up to the higher rate threshold but all that ended when Dividend Tax was invented.
sounds like your client gained a knowledge when having a pint in a pub with a mate...
looks like one to disengage, too much troubles ahead. unlikely to recommend you to others. i call it a dead weight.
i always get irritated when client is trying to correct my knowledge, doubt my advice or trying to dispute my professional integrity and experience.
and as far as tax-free lumps - i came across compensation for loss of office or redundancy pay for single co directors before but the amounts were nothing like £50K.
