I invested some money with a friend several years ago and then some more a year or so later and in the next month or so it is going to be repaid
with a generous profit. I am happy to pay the tax on it (well not really but you know what I mean) but if I invested the profit with another friend does that mean I would have no tax to pay this time round. Both friends use the money for property speculation.

Not enough information here. Were you a shareholder in their company? What was the agreement on the money - was it a loan? Was interest paid?£705,000 raised by client groups in the past 18 mths :beer:0

........ if you simply made a 'Loan' of the money to your friend and he is simply 'repaying' the loan to you and making you a 'Gift', it puts a different light on this senario........... no tax involvement.

It wasn't to a company - just to a private individual but a friendly solicitor said get something in writing so I have a note saying that the money will be repaid on such a such date at a interest rate of such and such. The solicitor also told me that if it went pear shaped even with a letter there was not a lot I could do about it. As they had loads of expenses with their property investments I assume I was put down as an expense with the interest payment.0

It looks as if you will be liable to tax on the interest received on the loan.£705,000 raised by client groups in the past 18 mths :beer:0
