I have my own money which I wish to inject into a company, is this possible without being taxed twice (because i've already paid tax on the money through work etc)?

What makes you think you'd pay tax by investing in a company?

You'd pay tax on any capital gain when you sell the equity, or indeed, taking a dividend / income.

If you loan money to a company this will be shown on the balance sheet as a debt and can be repaid anytime by the company. No tax liability will arise on eitther side unless you start charging interest, receiving shares, etc, etc

If you use the money to buy shares in the company or to make an injection of capital into a non-limited operation (partnership, for instance), there are no tax implications either.

Why do you think tax might be a problem?
