## Can my company lend me money?

Last updated: 14 October 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

Company loans to directors are restricted by sections 224–225, with specific exceptions. There can also be company tax consequences: section 140B can deem interest income to the company on advances from internal funds to a qualifying director. Obtain advice before drawing funds; approval and repayment arrangements should be documented.

An accounting entry does not itself make a prohibited loan lawful. Ask the secretary and tax agent to check the company-law exception, the tax definition of director, funding source and interest treatment.

### Key facts

- Check sections 224–225 before making a loan
