Why do I need a Division 7a Loan?

A Division 7a Loan Agreement helps prevent unintended tax consequences when a private company lends money to shareholders or their associates. Without a compliant loan agreement in place, the ATO may treat the loan as an unfranked dividend, which could lead to unexpected tax liabilities. A properly structured Division 7a Loan ensures the loan remains compliant with tax laws, avoiding costly penalties.
