Hello Community Users, We just wanted to add to this thread. There are a number of ways to record dividends, depending on business type etc. We recommend speaking with an account on how best to record them.

If you're not using Quickbooks for payroll then your salary is recorded as follows: -

 

On the assumption you're just drawing an amount of cash for yourself as required

 

Debit Director's remuneration

Credit Director's loan (hopefully a liabiity)

Credit PAYE

 

I normally det up dividends as an other expense

 

Debit dividends

Credit director's loan

 

Amounts paid to you are then allocated to the director's loan.
