Hi all. I am thinking to leave the UK permanently in a couple of years and would need to wind up my limited company. My query is if you wind up the company whilst overseas, then pay out retained earnings as capital, would the payment be tax free personally in the UK?
Also, the other main question is if you left the UK permanently and wound up the company later, would HMRC deem the company actually wound up when you left the UK anyway and thus you would need to pay capital gains tax personally on retained earnings paid out? Some posts have mentioned corporation exit tax or charge - I do not know much about this. Does any one have knowledge on this?
