  • Can I repay my Tax Loan early?

    Tax Loans operate slightly differently to other Commercial Loan products, in the sense that the loan purpose is to specifically pay the arrears with HMRC. The lenders offer the term of the loan to the same length of time as the due date of your next VAT or Corporation tax return.

  • What is the interest rate for a Tax Loan?

    Tax Loans offer speed and simplicity compared to traditional Commercial Loans. The total interest you repay is lower than other prducts due to the short-term nature of the borrowing. Paying your Tax bill on-time enables you to avoid HMRC penalties. 

  • How much can I borrow and for how long?

    The maximum amount to borrow for tax loans is up to £350,000 (Unsecured). Repayment terms are typically 3 months for VAT and 12 Months for Corporation Tax.
