Definition
Director remuneration is the aggregate of everything a director receives for their role and ownership: salary and bonus through PAYE, dividends as a shareholder, pension contributions, and benefits in kind.

It's the full picture of what you take home, across every route — which is why efficient extraction means looking at the whole package, not one strand.
