What happens if I thought I was outside IR35 and my company paid me a dividend, only to find out afterwards that I was inside IR35?

The IR35 deemed payment is calculated without reference to the dividend. The company can make a claim to match a dividend against the deemed payment. Once the claim is accepted the dividend is treated as reduced and any repayment due as a consequence will be made to the worker.
