Benefits of UK Offshore Company Formation

There are many possibilities given to potential companies looking to establish themselves within the UK. Being an international financial, cultural, and commercial centre gives many incentives to the prospective company looking to go offshore. The UK is one of the world’s leading financial centres with over 300 banks and 9,000 branches and is rated as second in the world’s top financial centres.

Though the UK is not commonly associated as an offshore tax haven it has most all the same features as a traditional offshore jurisdiction yet remains a modern financial centre. With close geographical proximity to Europe, access to European and global markets, the possibility of benefiting from various trade agreements, and access to several the UK’s Double Taxations treaties, the opportunities are endless. The UK has some of the world’s leading banks making it far easier to open an offshore bank than in many other offshore centres.

The UK offers several offshore products, some of which offer tax-through structures that make one’s company free from paying local taxes, such as the UK LLP and thus are afforded the same prospects as an offshore company, all the while maintaining the prestige and respectability that traditionally comes from incorporating in a high-tax jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions – UK Offshore Company Formation

You do not need to be a UK individual to have a limited company. A foreigner can have 100% ownership of the UK company.

An LLP has a more flexible structure compared to a limited company while still remaining benefits of being a body corporate. Profits sharing among members of an LLP can be varied and the members’ agreement is not required to be registered with the Companies House. In addition, it’s not mandatory for a limited company to hold an annual general meeting.

UK incorporation regulations require Private Limited Companies to pay UK Corporation Tax at a rate of 20 – 28%, which is determined after a company has filed their annual returns. Company Directors are also liable to pay UK income tax for any profits from the company. No taxes are paid on the dividends of a holding company and there is no double taxation on dividends distributed through to EU member countries.

After setting up a company in the UK and going through the incorporation process, a Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number will be issued by the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), which will be sent to the Company’s registered address. The HMRC will instruct you how to register your company, file the company accounts and pay corporate taxes.

The minimum paid up share capital for a UK Private Limited Company is GBP 1 with a usual authorized amount of GBP 1,000. Capital is usually denoted in the form of shares with one share being the minimum.

All UK Companies must file and annual return and annual accounts the UK Inland Revenue every year no matter if a company has traded or not.
