Loans received from directors who are also shareholders of the company, or from close family members of those directors, are basic financial instruments. The company has taken advantage of the exemption permitted by FRS 102 paragraph 11.13A and measures these loans initially at transaction price (the net amount received, less transaction costs) and subsequently at amortised cost.
Loans from any other connected parties are recognised initially at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for an equivalent loan, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest on loans from directors and other connected parties is charged to the profit and loss account on an accruals basis. Where interest is paid to an individual (a director or other individual lender), basic-rate income tax is deducted at source under Income Tax Act 2007 section 874 and remitted to HMRC quarterly on form CT61.
