    How to deal with a directors loan repaid after 4 years

    I agree. But have been quoted unreasonable amounts and on top of that, I don't need anybody to go through my bank statements. I have all the numbers in my spreadsheets. I don't need anybody to act as my agent. I basically need someone to help me out as an internal accountant and submit the...

    How to deal with a directors loan repaid after 4 years

    How to deal with a directors loan repaid after 4 years

    I do understand the 9 months period, but which accounting period was the loan made? Using your example. Year End 31 March 2025 - I paid myself interim dividends say 3,100 spread throughout the year (e.g. Jan and Feb 2025) - I cannot see where this would go onto CT600 even if recorded as...

    How to deal with a directors loan repaid after 4 years

    Thanks for the feedback indeed. So I take it in general, the date a loan is made is the one you get charged s455? Because I made the payment to myself, I mean the transfer from the business account to personal in year one, it was just classified as dividends. In other instances, as I...

    Is it the date of the exact day I repaid (payroll submission - I didn't withdraw the funds and repaid the loan) the loan or the date that my end of the year accounts were submitted and the loan recorded as repaid? Either way it was in 2024. Cheers

    How is unpaid Director's NIC recorded in P/L?

    Is Director's NIC logged into the P/L account at the end of the year that the accounts are made up for even if it was paid during the next accounting year? Or does it need to be logged in P/L of the year that it was paid. Many thanks
