How This Calculator Works

💼 Director's Loan Tax

Calculates the S455 Corporation Tax charge on overdrawn director's loan accounts not repaid within 9 months of year end.

⏳ Repayable Charge

The S455 charge is refundable once the loan is repaid, but HMRC only refunds 9 months after the accounting period in which repayment occurs.

📈 Rate Tracks Dividend

The S455 rate mirrors the dividend upper rate to prevent tax avoidance via loans instead of dividends.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does S455 tax apply?

S455 applies when a director has an overdrawn loan account at the company's accounting year end and has not repaid it within 9 months and 1 day after the year end.

Can the S455 charge be avoided?

You can write off the loan (which creates an income tax charge on the director) or repay it before the 9-month deadline. HMRC may challenge "bed and breakfasting" where loans are repaid and re-drawn within 30 days.
