Own capital introduced

[rchwha]

I set up a Ltd company 17 years ago using own tax paid capital, I recall at the time my accountant mentioned that the capital would be like a loan to the company so i assume that meant it would not be subjected to tax again if i chose to close the company in the future.
Unfortunately i do not still have a copy of the very first year end accounts which showed "own capital introduced". Now after 17 years Is there any way to establish that this original capital was a personal loan to the company ?

Check the Creditors section of your accounts for Director’s Loan Account or, if you are not a director, for loan in your name.
In case of a director the balance would have very likely changed beyond recognition over the years – your salary, dividends and expenses paid personally having been credited and personal expenses and drawings debited to the original account.
