Prestige – Business in the UK
Private British companies are subject to taxation. There are quite high requirements for reporting and auditing. Information on financial transactions, partners, and managers must be submitted to government agencies annually.
However, if you open a company in England in the form of a partnership of two foreign companies (Limited Liability Partnership), then when conducting business outside this country, taxes will be zero. Reporting requirements are retained.
- Business in England – it is a reputation and the highest level of prestige of the enterprise
- There are many double taxation treaties
- The level of trust in an English company from banks is maximum
- By registering a Partnership, there is an opportunity to get rid of taxes
- Banks and payment systems provide the most favourable terms of cooperation
Those who plan to open a company in the UK in order to optimise their business will be interested in a scheme with the participation of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP). This is a great opportunity to minimise the tax base if non-residents act as partners and commercial activities are not carried out on the territory of the country. To conceal the beneficial owners, two cheap offshore companies in the Seychelles are usually used as partners.
