    :)Hi Guys,

    My last Bal sheet showed that my company owes me personally about $40,000.

    These are various loan amounts made from me to the co over the years while setting up our business.

    Can I just transfer $40k out of the co acc into my own account, call it repayment of loans, and pay nil tax on it.
    Any other repercussions you can think of.??:confused:

    In essence yes, however is there any documentation to start with ie. when you lent money to your coy?

    At a bare minimum I would minute it via a Directors minute.

    Thanks Matt,

    The only documentation is that on each transaction (via electronic transaction) in the space "details" it was noted "Loan Giddo to Co".

    No minutes however.
