Do directors have to pay PAYE?

Posted 14 January 2016

I have seen a few times where directors of companies are not paid the same amount each month. The company does not pay PAYE over each month (in fact company is not registered for PAYE) and all that happens is the director declares his total earnings/drawings for the year in his ITR12 at the end of the year. This amount then corresponds to the "directors emolument" line item in the financial statements. Is this okay to do this?
