Correct on the DLA you can actually run an overdrawn DLA for years but after 12 months the co pays tax on the amount from memory..No, a director's loan can work both ways. An overdrawn director's loan is when a director takes money out of the company, often before declaring the company insolvent. This is where people will commonly hear the phrase, when hearing that a company has gone bust. An overdrawn directors loan is the first thing an insolvency practictioner would look for, and it also leaves the director open to a personal tax liability which many/most ignore, and hope that they won't be found out.
However, seed capital can be either loaned to the company (a director's loan), or the company can pay for it in shares.
You post on here like a man of mystery, with ways anyone can use to avoid ever paying tax, but if anyone takes your advice and runs with it then they're leaving themselves wide open to a sore arsehole. Especially as HMRC can (and do/have just) introduce new powers retrospectively to investigate directors/failed companies.
Fred's advice ..which incidentally is all pretty common stuff any accountant worth his salt should be telling you tax minimisation is ok...tax avoidance is reserved for those big enough to tell HMRC to go and procreate ..... just look at eBay and friends.. pay zip all UK Corp tax...when HMRC call them...they meet for lunch and agree the lowest amount that looks plausible.
That's my boxing day waffle
