Sorry naïve question, but if one takes a loan from Ltd company, then pay it back monthly (yes I know with %), would the monthly payment back trigger CT tax as well? i.e. would the loan repayment be considered as income for the ltd?

Get a loan wrong and it's going to cost you a lot more than if you'd taken one personally.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

If you're not confident what you're doing, I'd recommend against borrowing from your Ltd Co. Tends to be a recipe for disaster. Great in the short term as it's (temporarily) tax free cash you can spend, but often just means making your life hell a year down the line.Comment

It's also based on the fact you asked about commercial loans last year which was a bit of drag of a thread as well.
You tend to ask a very simple question on a complex topic and it takes an age to get to the reality of the situation which can affect the advice given.
And Maslins has also mooted the same warning I did about loans.Last edited by northernladuk; 29 January 2019, 11:37.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

I know the consequences on my SA.. but wanted to know if my gradual repayment of the loan would trigger CT ... the answer is great, so I pay CR on the interest portion not on the total repayment. Thanks for the info.Comment

He misconceives that Asking a question is to actually reduce naivety. And that asking several sequential questions allows for a path towards knowledge. Consider his only as a series of witless hurdles towards enlightenment.
Can I ask the value of your loans? I ask only as anything sub £10k stays below HMRC radars if paid back within the year.Comment
