Originally posted by Martin at NixonWilliams View PostThe company only pays CT if the loan is not repaid within 9 months and 1 day after the accounting period end. The rate of tax paid in this event is 25%, however this tax can be reclaimed from HMRC once the loan is eventually repaid (it can only be reclaimed 9 months after the accounting period the repayment was made - so usually a very long wait!).

These are the basics but there may be more to consider depending on your circumstances.
I hope this helps.

There is no PAYE tax on a directors loan when received.
However depending on when the loan is repaid the company could be liable for S455 taxes on the value of the loan.
This will only apply if the loan remains outstanding 9 months after the company year end in which the loan has been received.
