We understand the challenges businesses face when when handling lump-sum tax payments, that’s why we’ve made VAT and Corporation Tax Loans available.
If your company has been trading for at least 12 months and turning over more than £15,000 per month, you could be eligible for a VAT or Corporation Tax Loan.
What is a VAT or Corporation Tax Loan?
A VAT or Corporation Tax Loan is a short-term business finance solution designed to help you spread the cost of your tax liability over manageable monthly repayments. Instead of using working capital or dipping into reserves, you can preserve your cash flow while staying compliant with HMRC.
These loans are paid either directly to HMRC or to your business account, depending on the lender and your preference. Terms generally range from 3 to 12 months, with borrowing amounts from £10,000 up to £250,000 — or more with secured facilities.
