    As I said on your other thread this is the downside to 'tax planning' and unfortunately it's not always possible to have it both ways.

    Some people may argue it's unfair that your husband pays less tax/NI than them for the same income but then again they may get a loan and your OH won't

    I must say, you appear to come across as rather bitter & twisted.
    The OP is doing nothing wrong; infact is doing everything right by maximising tax avoidance (which is not tax evasion). That's what this site is all about - cutting your costs.

    Can anyone advise?
    My husband is the director of our limited company, and has an income of around £6000 a year.
    We however take in total (including this income) £13,200 net from the business annually.

    When trying to apply for a £6000 loan today to pay off car finance (i.e. no increase in monthly payment, and no history of missed payments) he has been refused.

    I am employed elsewhere and would apply, but already have 2 loans in my name, can anyone suggest a solution or been in this situation and worked it out?

    Thanks
    I'm a little confused as to what is happening here.

    Is your husbands income from the business £6k or £13.2k? Or do you take the remaining £7.2k?

    If only £6k, the difficulty hes has is how fiddlesticks puts it. i.e. he has a £6k loan and wants another (making a total of £12k) What he needs to do is find a lender he can explain things to. i.e he wants the £6k to pay off the existing loan. That should be possible - although the new lender may make arrangements to pay the old loan off directly to ensure that is what it is used for.

    Otherwise, if your husband actually receives £13.2k p.a. (albeit not under PAYE) then if he can prove that some other way (e.g. via a tax return) then his income (as opposed to just his salary) should be able to be used. :)
