Directors Loan Account Claims Help & Advice

Once your company has gone into liquidation you may end up facing a claim from the insolvency practitioner.

Overdrawn directors loan account claims are the most common claim brought by insolvency practitioners.

What is an Overdrawn Directors Loan Account

Other than non business expenses being drawn the most common reason for an over drawn directors loan account is due to how salary has been taken. Directors are often advised to draw funds out of their company by way of dividend, rather than salary, for tax reasons. Funds are drawn over the course of the year and a dividend is paid at the end of the year clearing the overdrawn loan account – simple. However, dividends can only be paid out if there are profits – no profits, no dividends.

If no dividend, or insufficient dividends are paid, the director remains liable to the company to pay back the funds taken.

The Insolvency Practitioner will be requesting repayment of the amount outstanding and agreement will need to be reached to avoid legal action being taken.
