What paperwork do you need when paying a dividend?

When a limited company pays a dividend, the directors should record the decision and produce a dividend voucher for each shareholder receiving the payment.

This generator creates board meeting minutes recording the decision to pay an interim dividend, together with a separate dividend voucher for each shareholder you enter.

For more information about what the documents should contain, including example documents and downloadable Word and Google Docs versions, see our dividend voucher and board minutes templates guide.

Before you pay the dividend

Your company must have sufficient profits available for distribution to cover the dividend. Having enough cash in the company bank account does not necessarily mean that a dividend can legally be paid.

You should also check the rights attached to the company’s shares and its Articles of Association, particularly if the company has different share classes or unusual dividend rights.

After generating your paperwork

Check the details carefully, then use the Print / Save as PDF button to keep a copy. Give each shareholder their dividend voucher and retain the board minutes with the company’s records.

You can also use our Dividend Tax Calculator to estimate the personal tax due on dividend income.

Important

This generator is designed for straightforward UK private limited companies paying interim dividends. It creates the paperwork but does not check your distributable profits, Articles of Association, shareholder agreements or individual share rights.

If you’re unsure whether a dividend can be paid, or your company has a more complex share structure, check with your accountant or professional adviser.
