Dividend Voucher Generator
Every dividend your company declares needs a voucher. It's a legal requirement—and forgetting to create one can cause problems with HMRC if you're ever investigated. The Dividend Voucher Generator creates properly formatted, legally compliant vouchers automatically when you confirm a dividend. The voucher includes the company name, registration number, director details, dividend amount, tax credit, date of payment, and reference number—all pulled from your existing portal data. No Word templates. No manual calculations. No missing paperwork. Declare the dividend, and the voucher is generated, numbered, stored, and optionally emailed to all shareholders in one step.
Challenges We Solve
Transforming complex problems into seamless automated workflows.
Creating dividend vouchers manually is tedious and error-prone
You open a Word template, fill in the company details, calculate the tax credit, update the reference number, save the file, and hope you didn't make a mistake. Multiply that by four quarterly dividends across three shareholders and the admin piles up.
- Vouchers generated automatically from confirmed dividends
- Tax credits calculated using current HMRC rates
- Sequential voucher numbering maintained automatically
- All shareholder details pulled from your company records
Missing vouchers create compliance risk
HMRC can request evidence of dividends declared at any time. If you don't have a properly formatted voucher for every payment, you could face penalties or have the payment reclassified as salary—with much higher tax consequences.
- Every dividend automatically generates a compliant voucher
- Complete voucher history stored in your document library
- Searchable by date, shareholder, amount, or reference number
- Instant export for HMRC enquiries or accountant review
Tracking dividend history across years is painful
How much have you taken in dividends this tax year? What about last year? Which shareholders received what? Finding these answers in a folder of Word documents is a needle-in-a-haystack exercise.
- Complete dividend history with running totals per shareholder
- Tax-year summaries showing utilisation of dividend allowance
- Export dividend registers for Self Assessment preparation
- Visual timeline of all declarations and payments

Can I customise the voucher design?
