    I have been in the scheme since January 2018

    The loans between January and April for tax year 2017 - 2018 are less than 10,000
    The loans between April 2018 and August are almost exactly 10,000 - just under.

    So what does that mean?

      It means thank your lucky stars you aren't in real deep s**t. Get out of the scheme right now. Fill in a self assessment form at year end and pay the tax bill. Then feel real lucky you aren't in the situation of owing hundreds of thousands in back tax. I think you have a fairly painless exit route here from what I can see. We all live and learn.

          If I was you I'd declare the loan on your 2017/18 self assessment (amend it if done already) - you will be taxed on it at your nominal rate. As you have left the scheme now then either get the provided to reverse this years loan or declare it on your next return.
