Hi, I have a question regarding CTA 2010 s464C about rules against bed and breakfasting. In CTA 2020 s464C (6) – “This section does not apply in relation to a repayment which gives rise to a charge to income tax on the participator or associate by reference to whom the loan, advance or benefit was a chargeable payment.” – we can see that in some situations S464C doesn’t apply. In case, in which a participator who is also the director in a close company, has an overdrawn director’s loan and want to repay it by means of a salary credited to the loan account, which would be subject to PAYE/NIC, would S464C (6) be in force, thereby rules against bed and breakfasting described in CTA 2010 s 464C (1), (3) would not apply? If yes, would that salary, credited to the loan account, have to be in the amount exceeding NI thresholds, or could it be lower?
