I have a small private limited company established few years ago. As of previous year-end, I had around 20 lacs as Reserves and Surplus. I will not need to invest this money in business. Can I just spend some of it on personal stuff? If I want to take it out, will I have to pay it out to directors as dividend and pay DDT on it? Any other option?
Thanks.
For any amount withdrawn out of the company will be taxed as dividends and the company will have to deduct CDT @ 15% on the same.

Thanks for the replies.
So, as I understand - there is absolutely no way to escape DDT.
My other question was - can the reserves be utilized for personal use - like family vacation?
For example, if my current FY income is 20 lacs and expense are 15 lacs. I will pay tax on 5 lacs gross profit. Now, can I use this year's post-tax profit or prior years accumalated profits for a familiy vacation?
