Buying debts?

Jul 07, 2003 1 Replies

I am/was a shareholder of a Ltd company which I loaned a few thousand pound of money to. This has subsequently become insolvent and going through the throws of arranging creditors meetings etc.



I have started my own company and was wondering if I can purchase (buy or sell) the loan I made to the first company so I at least don't pay tax on the capital repayment. Are such things possible and straight forward to do?



Many thanks.


What do you mean? Who is "buying" the loan? Your company or you? Who is "selling" the loan? The limited company you are a shareholder in or yourself?

Why are you expecting to pay tax on the repayment of capital? What tax?
