I agree with NLUK about not messing around with this stuff as there's probably some kind of anti-avoidance provision against it but I think IRMe makes a reasonable point - does the tightened bed and breakfasting provisions account for the scenario where a loan from Company A is repaid before 9 months by a loan from Company B? If its over £15k then it probably could be (as there's probably an intention to take another loan from Company A in the future to re-pay Company B) but if it's below £15k it would probably work.Comment

TCP summed up my thoughts in a more succinct way. B & B rules would prevent you taking another loan from the same company within 30 days, but a loan from elsewhere? Would there be a difference in taking it from another Ltd rather than say using a short term commercial loan, or one from Italian Mo down the pub, to settle the debt before taking it out again later on.
Its only really a theoretical exercise since buggering about in tax matters can wind up in the worst of places.Comment

I can't see this working in any other format that it'll be ok if I don't get caught.... the cost if you do could be eye watering.
I can't actually find it but wouldn't this be exposed under 'piercing the corporate veil'? A loan would be a contract no?
The term “piercing the corporate veil” is a legal decision to treat the rights or duties of a corporation as the rights or liabilities of its shareholders.
Broadly speaking, the Supreme Court made it clear that this concept cannot be used to make those who control limited companies party to contracts entered into by companies they control.Last edited by northernladuk; 8 April 2015, 14:32.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

If you are trying to deceive the HMRC that this is a loan by whatever methods of extending it I would expect you are extremely likely to get pulled up on it and the intention questioned which would surely fail.Comment
