Directors loan

looking to see how this should be dealt with in the company tax return. a director gives the company £12000 when the company first starts up. First of all I know this £12000 isnt classed as income am i right? However each month the directors have been taking some of this money back how is this dealt with?

To begin with CR Directors loan Account and DR Bank (if thats where the money went). Then each month DR Directors Loan and CR Bank.

Hi,

just to add to Kris's post. If the directors have been charging interest on the loan then you need to complete a CT61.

Hi Kirst

To you question there is no effect on the company tax return from the director loaning the company £12k and then taking it back.

Only effect would be if they took back more than they loaned the company and it wasnt repaid within 9 months of the year end there would be s419 (cant remember what the new section is called) tax to be paid by the company.  Effectively means the company makes a payment on account to HMRC for 25% of the overdrawn loan.  Will be able to get it back once the director repays the loan. 

Regards

MarkS

Is this OK then for the directors not to charge interest to the company?

Yeah ok for directors not to charge interest on their loans.

In most cases i have seen in practice there is no interest charged.
