    UK Ltd Company working under Swiss Jurisdiction

    If I have a UK company contracted with a Swiss company under Swiss jurisdiction, and the UK company becomes insolvent, what are the liabilities if any, for the UK company and its directors. Thanks in advance.

        'Directors' and 'owners' are not the same thing.

        Directors certainly can have liability depending on what they have done and the circumstances around the insolvency. I'd not suggest disbursing all the funds as dividends to yourself before paying VAT or Corp Tax and then trying to close it as insolvent. It won't end well.

          Depends. Office holders have legal responsibilities. Transfers of debt are possible in some cases.
