Tax planning and form of business

The UK is not on the list of offshore zones. Therefore, if you need a company in a respectable jurisdiction, England is considered the best solution because you can choose the legal form and, thus, optimize the taxation.

  • LTD (Private Limited Company)

The rate of income tax in the UK is considered rather high. However, with the proper structuring of income, the tax burden can be quite moderate. You should consider UK business registration taking into account the following conditions:

  • For LTD firms, an agency scheme is used, and offshore tie-in is employed, i.e. zero taxable base.
  • For LLP companies — if the structure of the company is planned competently, you can avoid the tax burden altogether. However, LLPs are not subject to contracts, which allows you to avoid double taxation. On the other hand, it is difficult for LLP to register a VAT number.

It is better to use an LTD company to get a VAT number.
