Or to put it another way, the company still owes you £350 of dividend payment.

A different question on Directors Loans.

I had my accounts done and the div payments were rounded up, this left a surplus of approx £350 being the difference between the divs I actually took say for example £7650 and the rounded up divs for the accounts £8000. I was advised that I could pay this £350 back to myself as a directors loans repayment, thing is I never loaned this to the company, the £350 just came about from the rounding up. Is this ok to do ?

Yes, your directors account will just be £350 in credit so you could take it when ever you wanted to.

BB - not sure what you're asking here.

A Directors Loan is a Loan a Director makes to the company, say to see it through a sticky patch or to cover start up costs.

If you have taken money out of a company, I think this is not very good [ perhaps even illegal ].

A Directors loan account can also be used to borrow money from the company, although there is a limit to the amount you are allowed to borrow (to prevent people borrowing money instead of taking dividends ).
If I remember correctly, this limit is about 5k.

Short answer is yes, you will have to pay it back if there are any creditors (ie people the Company owes money to).
