My client is personally borrowing and will pay 24% interest pa for initial working capital into his business. He will be a high rate payer for this tax year but take low salary / high dividends. Would you suggest he (i) charges interest to the company at the same rate and the company files a CT61 or (ii) deducts the interest off the SA as quaifying loan interest relief? Thanks, in advance

There are two separate loans, are there not? One he's taken out and one he's making. Treat each one appropriately and... voila.
Watch out for s384 ITA 2007 - credit card interest isn't relievable. Neither is overdraft interest.
