Tax efficient LTD company setup

[ThinkingAhead]

Hi all
I am about to start trading through a limited company that I set up a number of years ago, but that I have left dormant since it was incorporated.
At the time I set it up, I added my wife as a shareholder (10%) and director, on the assumption that I would be able to pay her a salary which is just under the tax free threshold, and pay anything else in dividends, and also pay myself in the same way.
Am I correct in my assumption that I can do this, or is there a better way to go about it?

Yes you can remunerate yourselves via salary and dividends.

Dividends are paid in proportion to shareholding.

Thanks @STDFR33

Dividends are paid in proportion to shareholding.

Not neccessarily in simple %age terms as there may be different classes of shares.
