Hi all, apologies in advance if this is a tad long winded.
My wife has agreed to resign from the company of she is a 50% shareholder for the sum of €2,000. (a very long story)
She owes the company €9,000, which was company funds used as down payment to help buy a property privately several years ago.
This property is where the company trades from with a basic lease in place and rental declared.
Her business partner did likewise and owes the company the same amount. These are detailed the the accounts.
Her business partner suggests that the company writes a cheque to my wife for the sum she owes and she in turn would write a personal cheque to the company for the same amount.
so 3 questions arise that you guys may be able to help with:
1.How are these transactions treated from a personal tax perspective?
2.Is there a historical personal tax liability?
3.How can my wife minimise tax on the €2,000?
I appreciate any help as she just 'wants this over with'
