Further information

Private Company Limited by Shares:

  • A private company limited by shares in England and Wales must have at least one director, one shareholder, and may have a secretary.

  • You need at least one person to form this type of company. If there is only one director, and that director is a natural person in your company, that director can also act as the secretary.

  • A company must have at least one director who is a natural person. This requirement is met if the office of director is held by a natural person as a corporation sole or otherwise by virtue of an office.

  • You can register a sole director' company, if you are familiar with the secretaries duties and responsibilities, because all of them belongs to a sole director.

  • The directors and secretary of your company can also be shareholders.

  • The Companies Act imposes no restriction on the minimum age of company directors. However Companies House will actively discourage the appointment of anyone under the age of 16 from taking up a company directorship on the grounds that the individuals concerned may not fully understand the legal liabilities that go with the position and for the most part will not have the experience necessary to perform the duties of a company director.

  • Under the Companies Act 2006, there is no restriction on any or all of the members/shareholders being from an overseas country (i.e. outside the United Kingdom in terms of residency, domicile, citizenship, place of incorporation or all or any of those concepts).

  • There is no requirement for the officers of your company to be UK citizens or residents, nor for them to hold valid work permits.

  • Owning, or being an officer of a UK company does not, however, grant you any right to live or work in the UK if you are a foreign national.

  • Your company must have a registered office address within England or Wales; this is the official address of your company and will be on the public record as such.

  • Your company must hold its official company documents at its registered office address: its register of shareholders, and its constitutional documents.

  • So long as you maintain a registered office address in England or Wales, you can conduct your business from any place in the world: you do not have to run your business from your registered office address.

    A business may be conducted by a company as an entity in its own right and comes into existence by incorporation under companies legislation which also regulates the running of the company and sets out the duties of its officers. In recent years trading trusts have been commonly used as the structure for carrying on a business with their main objective of tax minimization. A trust requires a trustee to act on behalf of a trust and it has been preferable to have a company newly incorporated to act as the trustee as it is believed that this limits the liability of the trust to the paid-up capital of the Trustee Company. A trust is formed by a gift or settlement being made to the trustee on behalf of the, as yet unformed, trust. A solicitor draws up a Trust Deed setting out the powers and formalizing the administration of the trust. The trust has beneficiaries rather than shareholders as in a company, who are entitled to distributions of capital and/or income and these distributions, are controlled by the trustee.
    Previous
    Next
    The distribution made to beneficiaries are subject to income tax as part of their personal income and are liable for provisional tax on these distributions. Citizens and residents of other countries may incorporate in the United Kingdom through the standard incorporation procedures set forth by each state. Provides UK company formations, trademark registration, registered office facilities and company secretary services.

        (2) In sub-paragraph (1)(c) above the reference to a lump sum receivable by the holder includes a reference to a lump sum that would be receivable by him if he had exercised or refrained from exercising (with any necessary consent) any option or other right conferred on him by the rules of the scheme or fund.


            2C    Where tax is chargeable under section 148 in respect of two or more payments to which paragraph 2A above applies, being payments made to or in respect of the same person in respect of the same office or employment or in respect of different offices or employments held under the same employer or under associated employers, then—
       (a) paragraph 2A above shall apply as if those payments were a single payment of an amount equal to their aggregate amount and, where they are made in respect of different offices or employments, as if the standard capital superannuation benefit were an amount equal to the sum of the standard capital superannuation benefits for those offices or employments, and
       (b) where the payments are treated as income of different chargeable periods, the relief to be granted under that paragraph in respect of a payment chargeable for any such period shall be the amount by which the relief computed in accordance with the preceding provision in respect of that payment and any payments chargeable for previous chargeable periods exceeds the relief in respect of the last mentioned payments;
    and where the standard capital superannuation benefit for an office or employment in respect of which two or more of the payments are made is not the same in relation to each of those payments, it shall be treated for the purpose of this paragraph as equal to the higher or highest of those benefits."
            14.    In paragraph 3, after the words "from the payment" there shall be inserted the words "(in addition to any deduction allowed under the preceding provisions of this Schedule)".
            15.    In paragraph 4(1), for the words following sub-pargraph (b) there shall be substituted the following words—
     " (c) the difference between the respective amounts of tax which would be so chargeable on the assumptions— (i) that the appropriate fraction only of the payment (after deducting any relief applicable thereto under the preceding provisions of this Schedule) had been made, and (ii) that no part of the payment had been made,and disregarding, in each case, any other emoluments of the office or employment,
     and the amount to be deducted shall be the difference between the amount ascertained at (a) and the sum of the amount ascertained at (b) and the appropriate multiple of the difference ascertained at (c)."
            16.    The following paragraphs shall be inserted after paragraph 5—


        "    5A.    —  (1) Where the income of the holder or past holder of the office or employment for the chargeable period of which the payment is treated as income includes income, income tax on which he is entitled to charge against any other person, or to deduct, retain or satisfy out of any payment which he is liable to make to any other person, the amounts referred to in sub-paragraphs (a) to (c) of paragraph 4 above shall be calculated as if that tax were not chargeable in respect of that income.

        (2) Where for any year of assessment an individual claims relief under paragraph 4 above, and also under section 550 or Schedule 2, or under both that section and that Schedule, then, in computing the relief under paragraph 4 above, his income shall be deemed to include—
       (a) in respect of any amount which would otherwise be included therein by virtue of section 547(1)(a), no greater amount than the appropriate fraction thereof within the meaning of section 550, and
       (b) in respect of any chargeable sum within the meaning of Schedule 2 (including two or more sums treated for the purposes of paragraph 3 of that Schedule as one chargeable sum), no greater amount than the balance (if any) of the yearly equivalent thereof remaining after the making of any deduction required by that paragraph.



            5B    In this Schedule "the appropriate fraction" (except in paragraph 5A(2)(a)) and "the appropriate multiple", in relation to any payment, mean respectively—
       (a) where the payment is not a payment of compensation for loss of office, one-sixth and six, and
       (b) where the payment is a payment of compensation for loss of office, one divided by the relevant number of years of unexpired service, and that number of years,
    and for the purposes of this paragraph "the relevant number of years of unexpired service" means the number of complete years taken into account in calculating the amount of the payment, being years for which the holder of the office or employment would have been entitled (otherwise than by virtue of arrangements made in contemplation of his retirement or removal or of any relevant change in the functions or emoluments of the office or employment) to retain the office or employment or its full emoluments, and where the period so taken into account is less than one complete year or exceeds an exact number of years, it shall be treated for the purposes of this paragraph as one complete year or as the next higher number of complete years, as the case may be."
            17.    The following proviso shall be added at the end of paragraph 6—
       "Provided that, where the appropriate fraction and the appropriate multiple are not the same for each of the payments, the calculations of relief under paragraph 4 above shall be made separately in relation to each payment or payments having a different appropriate fraction and multiple, and in any such calculation—
        (a) any payment for which the appropriate multiple is lower shall be left out of account for all the purposes of that paragraph, and
        (b) in ascertaining the difference at (c) of that paragraph it shall be assumed that the appropriate fraction only of any payment for which the appropriate multiple is higher had been made,
       and the relief to be allowed shall be the sum of the reliefs so calculated in respect of the payments respectively."
            18.    The following words shall be added at the end of paragraph 7—
     "and as if any emoluments of any of those offices or employments were emoluments of the same office or employment."
            19.    The following paragraph shall be inserted after paragraph 8—


        "    8A.    In this Schedule "payment of compensation for loss of office" means a payment made—
       (a) in pursuance of an order of a court in proceedings for wrongful dismissal or otherwise for breach of contract of employment, or by way of settlement of such proceedings or of a claim in respect of which such proceedings could have been brought, or
       (b) by way of compensation for the extinguishment of any right the infringement of which would be actionable in such proceedings,
    and any question whether, and to what extent, a payment is or is not a payment of compensation for loss of office shall be determined according to all the circumstances and not (or not exclusively) by reference to the terms on which it is expressed to be made."
