I had advised a new client to take a salary of £641 a month for this tax year (rather than the sporadic amounts between £500 and £1,500 he had been paying himself....), however I have since been advised that £785 a month is better to pay his "stamp" for NI contributions, has anyone heard of this and do you have clients that do this?

We use £650 a month which I believe to be the most tax efficient. If you pay a salary equal to personal allowances then you are paying more in NI that CT saved. At £650 the NI is minimal but sufficient for all state benefits.0

We use £641 per month so no NI is payable. I understood this was still sufficient for all state benefits etc as it is above the LEL??
I agree that for a Ltd Co and director it's not beneficial to use up the tax allowance, but one of our clients is a sole trader who employs her husband, and in her case I believe it is beneficial to use up his tax allowance as she will save tax and NI.0 -
seems like different people use different rates, do they definitely still get all pension entitlements if they only receive a salary of £641 a month as this is my clients biggest concern?
than you for all your comments, it is helpful to hear what different people do.0
