I am self employed and I have used my own savings to finance
the business, paying rent, travel costs etc.
These I have recorded in the director’s loan nominal account which current
stands at minus circa £14000, (i.e. the business has £14,000 of my money). This has been funded from my personal current account.
My business income has gone into my company account and from
time to time I transfer money from my business account to my personal current
account. I record these transactions as loan
repayments. This year I have transferred
£12,000 and reduced the director’s loan to £2,000.
Question: Does this £12,000 represent personal income and
subject to income tax or does it constitute a loan repayment and treated as a
profit and loss item?
