So I've started downloading my tax statements already where they're available - and 10/10 to lendingcrowd that they ARE. However they've (incorrectly) put bonuses under taxable...every other platform excludes them (provided they're an incentive from the platform not the borrowers). Makes a big difference after those joining bonuses..... Edit: thanks ablender

I think you meant from the borrowers (instead of from the lenders).

" "Company has ceased trading" I'm going to consider those bad debts for tax purposes ! Overall Lending Crowd has done very very nicely for me, so don't mind too much

Edit: thanks ablender Another reason that it should not be there is that we have not earned it yet I can't withdraw it and they can still take it away. Its not fixed until the promotion period ends.

lendingcrowd Can you please comment on the inclusion of the £100 promotion in the taxable income, especially considering that it can be taken back?

I rung them a few minutes ago. Actually I was not aware that it was so early. I left a message with a lady and she said someone will ring me back.

I was also confused by both the absence of bad debt (I'm receiving regular updates about at least one dud) and the fact that they've included a tied bonus that I can't spend/withdraw as taxable income.
Downloading tax statements for 6-7 platforms has been an interesting experience, so far RS is my favourite as it's a single (correct) line.
If LC have a representative posting on this forum, an update would be appreciated, this is the only outstanding item for me before I can declare my untaxed income.

" "Company has ceased trading" I'm going to consider those bad debts for tax purposes ! Definitely not! They aren't irrecoverable yet. The proceedings against the guarantor should see them stand up to their guarantee and repay some/all of the money. Just look at any of a squillion Finalising Courtcases brought by other platforms on their defaulted loans. The platform I might be thinking of even have a separate section in their summary for post-default recoveries.

If you're a small player, then unless you've been monumentally daft in your (lack of) diversification, then the effect will be minimal anyway - so even less point in claiming for things you shouldn't be claiming for.
