Kirsty will only be taxable on the interest in the tax year in which she receives it (SAIM2440). Therefore, dividends (other than PIDs) are always paid gross. Higher rate applies to certain profit related interest. This restriction applies if the company or groups total UK net tax interest expense is greater than the 2 million de minimis amount. This can lead to an unexpected tax charge for those that are not familiar with this rule. Much of the commentary below relates to the tax position of the individual investor rather than the company. Withholding tax should be borne in mind, particularly in relation to shareholder loans from individuals, as the deduction of 20% tax can be an unwelcome surprise and create a cashflow issue for some investors. Check benefits and financial support you can get, Find out about the Energy Bills Support Scheme. However, there are a number of exceptions to this general rule. Interest paid on qualifying loans is deducted from the taxpayer's total income (ie a Step 2 deduction from total income). Financial instruments which evidence the existence of a debt between a borrower (issuer) and one or more lenders (noteholder(s)) and the promise by the issuer to repay the amounts outstanding under the loan notes to the noteholder(s). Note, however, that for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2009, there is a significant change to the scope of the rule on late-paid interest as it affects cases where the creditor is a company. Unlike an IOU, a loan note is also a legal contract specifying the duration of the loan, and any agreed interest. Investing in loan notes may be a way to lend money to companies in profitable areas who are willing to offer much higher rates of interest than almost anywhere else.
