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.
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.
Valid directors loan account claims are settled based on your own unique personal financial circumstances.
Knowing how to assess your income/expenditure and assets/liabilities and packaging these in a way to allow insolvency practitioners to make informed decisions on the level of your offer to settle is key.
Producing properly calculated estimated outcome statements in the event of legal action further validate and set the level of offer to be made.
