Obviously, he was in some sort of management position. Most likely educated or grew up overseas. I still can't figure out whether he is genuinely an ex-employee or if this is some sort of damage control prescribed by the PR spin doctors.

The really funny thing is that he's been asked this question I count twice and has basically ignored it. Would love to see his answer to this.

My point is that at that level of written English, he must be some sort of management at least. You don't work on the factory floor with that level of English language skills.

But.. also he uses Internet slang that only surfing the web (some particular corners of the web as well) regularly in English you'd encounter (like "Good Luck, I'm behind 7 Proxies"). This is cultural. That's why I said he or she most likely grew up overseas.

Also, paying you self in dividends doesn't mean you pay no tax. Corporation tax in the UK is 20% and dividend is paid after corporation tax on profits. Then you still have to pay personal dividend tax on it. What you do save on is NI.

However, the whole dividend tax system will change next year (tax credits will be abolished) making it less attractive still.
