Regarding your trading being taxed under CGT (which would be better than LTD Co. trading), your individual circumstances and how you trade must be reviewed by an accountant. I hope you had a discussion with one prior to opening your company? It's a good idea to get in touch with a professional so you understand how eventual distribution of profit (hopefully) to yourself will be made.

As far as I know it's not exempt (only spread-betting), but as rules change constantly I couldn't answer without looking up more information

If the business is day trading CGT may not apply as an individual as well as it is viewed as a trade as opposed to investment, so may explain the decision to go via a company.
Thanks!

Originally posted by JRCT View PostSurely, if you lent the £10k to the company, you would have transferred it into the company bank account and then transferred it from there, to the broker.
The £100k would then be paid by the broker to the company bank account and your company transfer £10k back to you.
At the moment, it sounds like you've set up a company with a balance of £0 and given £10k of your money to some bloke.
I wouldn't transfer all of the 100k back into the company bank account, that would mean that I couldn't continue trading. In this instance, I would transfer 10k from my trading account back into my business account and then back to me. So I don't understand your last point about giving money to a bloke? When I say broker, I mean my online trading account. I am the broker.
