No income tax relief for director's guarantee payment

In A Guarantor v Revenue & Customs [2008] UKSPC SPC00703, a decision released on 5 August 2008, the Special Commissioner held that a former director was not entitled to income tax relief for a payment made pursuant to a personal guarantee of a company's debts.

This is a good reminder that there is no income tax deduction for such payments (although capital gains tax relief may be available).
