What is a corporation tax loan?

A corporation tax loan pays your company’s corporation tax to HMRC on time and lets you repay the lender in monthly instalments, typically over three to twelve months. Corporation tax is due nine months and one day after your accounting year end, so the loan protects working capital when a large bill lands.

Corporation Tax Loan: common questions

When is corporation tax due?

For most companies, nine months and one day after the end of the accounting period. Very large companies pay in quarterly instalments.

Is a tax loan cheaper than paying HMRC late?

It can be. HMRC charges late-payment interest and may add penalties, and a missed tax payment can affect future credit. Compare the loan’s total cost with HMRC’s charges, or speak to HMRC about Time to Pay.

Does the lender pay HMRC directly?

Many tax-funding lenders pay HMRC directly on your behalf; others pay the funds to your business account. We will explain how each option works.
