Hi there!

Currently lodging first company tax return for small private company and have a question in regards to total debt. The instructions request that I add the opening and closing balance of the company debt and then divide by two, however where the only debt that is included is a loan from the director (me), then am I assuming this is my calculation?


Starting debt: $0

Finishing debt: $2,000

Total Debt in Company Tax Return: $1,000


I've seen points how this should be assets minus liabilities on other questions so am more just looking for guidance to do this correctl


Thanks!

Hey @nomadic852,


Yes, your calculations would be correct if you've included all financials that were used by the company to provide funds for its operations and investments to work out your total debt.


You can read the tax return instructions and what to include more about working out your total debt (J) on our website.
