Best to only take a loan amount that you know you can repay before 9 months past the company year-end date.Comment

Assuming cashflow isn't an issue then the most important thing to watch out for is paying the correct amount of interest (or BIK tax, but interest is the best approach I think) on the loan if over £10k and I believe that strictly speaking a shareholders meeting is required for loans in excess of £15k (but a rather trivial point for a one man or family owned business).Comment

Originally posted by TheCyclingProgrammer View PostI'm aware of that, but like I said if YourCo has significant cash reserves it shouldn't have any effect on your cashflow. They money will be re-paid 9 months after the tax year in which the loan is re-paid. As long as you're aware of that then its not necessarily a big deal.

Originally posted by No2politics View PostI didnt realise you got the tax refunded when you repay the loan. Obviously makes a huge difference.
