Directors Loans – If a director takes non PAYE wages from a Limited company either as a loan or if the profits are not there to pay a Dividend, then the Director has received a loan. If the loan was greater than £10,000 and the loan is not repaid within 9 months of your year end, then the company is taxed at 32.5% on the outstanding loan and the Director is taxed as having taken a Dividend.
A Directors loan is a tax efficient way of taking money from a Limited company, but very expensive if not being repaid.
