If a company director receives money or other benefits from his/her own company, they are subject to PAYE tax and a payroll must be operated by the company.
The PAYE system applies to company directors as it does to any other employee. PAYE stands for ‘Pay As You Earn’. Every time director's salary is paid, you must deduct and pay the amount deducted to Revenue: Income Tax (IT),Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) andUniversal Social Charge (USC)
PAYE ensures that the yearly amounts you have to pay are collected evenly on each pay day over the course of the year.
In general, benefits that a director receives from the company are taxable as Benefits-In-Kind (BIK). Most taxable benefits are added to your pay as BIK and taxed in the same way as your pay does. Examples include company cars, loans, medical insurance premiums and childcare facilities.
Benefits that are not taxable include travel passes and bicycles provided under the Cycle to Work Scheme.
