If you are trying to setup a new business or corporation for the first time, it may be tricky for the businessman to pay shareholders. But the fact is paying shareholders is not a hard nut to crack. You can pay your shareholder with ease as you pay others.
Paying shareholder as an employee if he has done some task as employee. If you use pay services like Pay cheque and ADP, the corporation in such cases should have all the information on the employee shareholder just like the corporation needs payroll information taken as normal employee.
1. First:
Note that the amount that you have paid to shareholder as wages should be categorized in the accounting system as “office wages expense” and “wages expense.”
2. Second:
You can have lots of information available on the official website by government.
Sometimes, it is important for the shareholder to have been paid for the amount one has expanded for the organization. When the corporate wants to make these types of reimbursements, the payment should be treated as payment to the vendors.
In other words, any payment to vendors, payment to spending of office supplies or it is payment to vendor does not matter any difference.
If the shareholder is paid the rent by the corporation, it is considered, recorded a rent and it should be clearly shown up. Rental expanses made to the shareholder by organization should be taken as deduction in organization’s tax return leaving no loophole here. The rent received at the shareholder’s end should be taken as it’s income.
When distribution or Dividend is paid to the shareholder, it should be taken as retained earnings, reduction or draw and not the tax deduction or expenses.
