Directors Loan Account Accounting

Overdrawn DLA, s455 tax, benefit-in-kind, write-offs, and year-end clearance.

What we do

If you have taken money out of your limited company that is not salary, dividend, or expenses, you have a director's loan account that HMRC watches closely. We track every movement, calculate the s455 charge on any overdrawn balance not repaid within nine months of year end, work out the benefit-in-kind on cheap or interest-free loans, and flag bed-and-breakfasting risks before they cost you. Where a write-off makes sense, we model the tax both sides (company and personal) so you choose with full information, then handle the clearance and paperwork before your accounts are filed.
