    Are student loans repayed on Capital Gains??

    Basically am in a pickle and my accountants Upton have not been great with advice here....

    Say my company makes 100K a year. Take 5K out for expenses and 5K for my salary.

    That leaves 90K.

    I was under the impression I could pay about 37K in dividends which are tax free (as corp tax is paid on them) - However I have a student loan which I dont want to pay back just yet so if I do this I am 9% out of pocket.

    I do not actually need the money - It can stay with the company - I just want to see whether anyone has ideas on how to avoid this??

    I initially thought of closing the company after 3 years and only taking a 5K salary. I guess I could then use entrepenurial relief and pay 10% on everything withdrawn.

    How do people on here actually get around paying student loans hwere possible and what is the general accepted route for taking money out of the company above the 37K dividend route

      There is so much wrong with this paragraph I don't know where to start.

      Pretty tulipe trying to blame Uptons - I bet they didn't make up this nonsense for you.

        Please say in one sentence what you think is so wrong?

        And I am not blaming Uptons - Its partly my fault and getting a face to face with them is not straightforward

              The reason you're patronised is because you come across as a retard.

                    Where does Capital Gains Tax come into it. Anyway,

                    If you have any ’unearned income’ from other sources like savings or investments, remember that this counts towards your total income.

                    Given it has an interest rate of 0% I can see why.

                    I think the taxman might see right through that.

                    By being so old they got a grant or by not having gone at all.

                    By taking even more dividends. Or pensions. Or expenses. Or something else, spending it on stuff I suppose
                    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.
