Are directors taxed differently from employees? I've not been a director of a single person company but from what I recall (it's been a while) I didn't pay anything other than normal PAYE for being an employee/director. Of course as a shareholder you may be subject to other taxes but you can be a shareholder without being a director and vice versa.
