Using a Company to Save Tax
By Lee Hadnum
Published April 2007

Overview

Conducting your business through a limited company could potentially save you tens of thousands of pounds in national insurance and tax each year.

The main reasons behind this are simple. Firstly, UK income tax rates are far higher than corporation tax rates. Secondly, company directors may pay themselves dividends from the company which are subject to much lower tax rates than any salary income.

Finally, if you have a spouse who is also a director in the company you may split your income, which should also save you a tidy sum in tax.

Using a Company To Save Tax will provide you with all the information you will need in order to confidently and efficiently run your business through a limited company. It is essential reading for:

  • Those who currently have an unincorporated business i.e. sole traders and partnerships.
  • Those already running a company, and would like to reduce their national insurance, income tax and corporation tax bills.
  • Those presently interested in setting up a company, but are as yet unincorporated.
  • Anyone in the financial advice business, wishing to advise prospective clients on the benefits of incorporation.
