Summary

Behnam explains the trade-off between minimizing tax and showing enough income to qualify for finance. He says if Deimante's accounts show low income (e.g., £14,000), she will not pay much tax but lenders will not offer large loans; she may need to declare higher income to access finance for a house or dental work. He mentions his own similar problem and notes some lenders accept bank statements instead.

Facts

  • An income of £14,000 would incur no tax but about £100 National Insurance.
  • Lenders may not give large loans if low income is shown.
  • Some lenders accept bank statements instead of accounts.

Tasks

  • Consider how to present accounts before applying for finance.

Issues

  • Balancing tax liability vs finance approval.
  • Credit score concerns.
