Hi there,


I'm looking at starting another company with a business partner in a totally unrelated industry and want to know of I can use money from the company I've started and running (company a) and have saved to use a capital to start the new company (company b).


if I transfer money from company a to company b will that lower my taxable income from company a?


And will company b need to pay back that money to company a?


If so it will need to be a loan with interest charged?


And will the money injected into company b be taxable income?


Tia

Hi @Companystarter


What you've described is a Division 7A loan.

Generally, this wouldn't be used to lower a company's taxable income.


Yes, it'll need to be paid back and yes there'll be interest. Whether a division 7A loan is taxable or not would be based on all the circumstances and conditions.
