Bridging loans to cover emergencies

What is a bridge loan? You can use a bridging loan to release some or all of the equity available in any residential, mixed-use, or commercial property you own for a period of up to 24 months. With an emergency bridging loan, you may be able to draw down the funds in as little as 3 days from enquiry

Taking out an emergency bridging loan to pay a tax bill

Nearly one in five bridging loans taken out in the UK are used to provide funding to borrowers when it’s urgently needed. Many use the money released from the equity in their property to settle a due or outstanding tax liability to HMRC.

An emergency bridging loan to pay inheritance tax

Many people who are the beneficiaries of a will are understandably concerned about finding the money they need to pay the inheritance tax they owe on property and other assets they have been bequeathed. The time required to make payment of inheritance tax is short and finding the money is often further complicated if a beneficiary is having trouble liquidating the asset or assets they now own.

VAT finance

Many business owners apply for a VAT bridging loan when they believe that settling an upcoming or overdue VAT bill will severely affect their cash flow to such an extent that the viability of their company will be threatened.

Most VAT bills are equivalent to three to four weeks’ of a company’s entire turnover and, if revenue in the weeks preceding a VAT payment due date is lower than normal, making full payment on time may be very difficult.

A VAT loan facility may offer you the breathing space that you need. With a business VAT loan, you have up to 2 years to repay the facility reducing the immediate pressure on your company’s cash flow.

Corporation tax loan

You can apply for a corporation tax bridging loan if you believe that you will experience difficulty in paying a forthcoming or overdue corporation tax bill.

You can pay back the loan over 2 years - corporation tax bank loan interest rates start from just 0.75%. You pay no additional corporation tax loan arrangement fees when arranging this facility through Redrock.

Stamp duty loan

If you’re under pressure by a seller to purchase their property and they’re threatening to withdraw even though you’ve not yet sold your original property yet, you may wish to consider applying for a stamp duty bridging loan.

Even though you intend this property to be the place you live in, HMRC will class the transaction as the purchase of a non-primary residence because you still own your original property. It will therefore attract a higher rate of stamp duty – use an emergency bridging loan to pay the higher stamp duty owed and repay the loan when you apply for a refund from HMRC when your original property is sold.

Settling your director’s loan account

An overdrawn director’s loan account bridging loan may be suitable if you are unlikely to be able to repay debt you owe to your company prior to the filing of your CT600 form with HMRC.

You will be required to pay 32.5% tax on any overdrawn director’s account at this point and, although you will receive that tax back when the director’s loan is settled, you may have to wait up to two years to get it back.

If you are concerned that your business may be facing solvency issues or if you are due to sell your company to a third-party, there may be distinct financial advantages to using an emergency bridging loan to clear the deficit.

Please take advice from your accountant on the best way to proceed with an overdrawn director’s account prior to contacting Redrock especially if you’re considering using the equity in your primary residential property as security on a bridging loan.
