About the session
What are Directors loans, how do they relate to Dividends and when do they create a tax liability?
If you are the owner of limited company, there is every chance you will have a Director’s loan account.
Often business owners will inject cash into a business where they are a Director. This could be when the business is starting out, or to help with cash flow along the way. But how are these cash injections accounted for, and when can they be withdrawn?
The flip side of this is when Directors withdraw cash from the business, but, that withdrawal isn’t extracted as dividend, payroll or to repay expenses incurred personally. If a Directors loan account is overdrawn, what does that mean to you as a Director and what are the tax implications.
Topics covered
- What is a Directors Loan account
- Why are Directors Loan accounts used
- What are the tax implications on Directors Loan accounts
- Other implications of directors loan accounts
Who is it for?
Business owners who want a better understanding of Directors loan accounts and dividends and their implications
