With companies being used by farmers the following
is important to note:
Ensure you lodge your corporation tax return on time as a late return can result in penalties and loss of reliefs.
Ensure the company pays you a salary. This will enable you to get benefits paid for by the company such as health insurance, life insurance and club subscription. The benefit will be taxed on you as salary but will be taxed as a cost to the company.
If you take out the funds yourself and pay it yourself it will cost you more in tax.
