After selling our SAS business, we are advised that any money left in our business Account is liable for tax. We have never had a salary or been paid dividends in 12 of operating the business. The business owes us (3 co-owners) personally around 95,000 euros of debt for setting up the business etc. I can not understand why we will be expected to pay around 28,000 euros on this amount. We are a small business earning less than 250,000 euros a year and will be retiring. Would it be better financilly to take the money as dividends please? Thank you.
