    Adding a new shareholder (another Ltd co).

    I know there are a few threads on adding a spouse as a shareholder to one's company but are the tax implications different if adding another Ltd company as a shareholder? Has anyone done this?

    No but why would you do this is a more pertinent question. Often on these boards we get the question can you? When the better questions is should you? But you've give no information at all about that.

      Many of us are interested in investing in property and utilising retained profit within our contracting companies. Rather than an inter-company loan, one could create a new share class and have the SPV own shares in the contracting company. The contracting company can then issue dividends to the SPV.

        But surely in this case the inter-company loan is actually a better more tax efficient way of processing the transaction anyway - Also in your method you essentially create an "implied" group of companies and all the headaches thereof

        Where as a company loaning another money is about a common a transaction as I can think of
