it. Is there a tax-efficient alternative?
As the director shareholder of your own company you might borrow from it to cover personal expenses. The trouble is owing money to your company can trigger a hefty tax bill. How can you avoid this
without repaying what you owe?
If you borrow money from your company it might have to pay a special tax charge for the privilege of letting you use its cash. The tax bill can be avoided if the debt is repaid, but is it better for
your cash flow to pay it?
Where your company lends you money, it might face a tax bill as a result. You can get your company off the tax hook by repaying the loan. But if money is tight and repayment isn’t possible, is there
another way to dodge this tax?
New rules apply to most directors who borrow money from their company. Until now if they repaid this within nine months of the end of its accounting period, no tax charge would arise. What’s changed?
Your company’s financial year ends on 31 December and your director’s loan account is in deficit. To avoid this triggering a tax bill for your company, you could take a bonus to clear the debt.
What’s the most tax-efficient way to handle this?
As a shareholder if you owe your company money it might result in an extra tax charge. This can be avoided by clearing the debt with a simple book entry or as a transfer of the cash required, but
which is the best option?
Borrowing from your company can result in it having to pay extra tax, but it can be avoided if you repay the debt within a set time period. What steps can you take to make sure repaying what you owe
is as tax efficient as possible?
Over the last year you needed to borrow money from your company which pushed your director’s loan account into the red. You now want to clear the debt. What are your options and what potential tax
pitfalls might there be?
Directors can indefinitely borrow up to £10,000 interest free from their companies at no tax cost to themselves. The trouble is the company will have to pay tax and tough anti-avoidance rules apply.
Is there a way to legitimately avoid them?
