Hi there,
Well, my second post in a year (on my first I was called troll!!)
I wonder if I can get any advice regarding my company situation
I currently have a limited company (project engineering services ) with two shareholders 50/50 I am the director and the employee on the company. A pretty modest turnover of 60k /year..
I paid myself £135 /week and the rest is dividends between the two shareholders..
The second shareholder wants to leave the company..
Can I incorporate a foreign shareholder instead in to my company.? I understand that from the tax point of view, I will not be gaining anything due to the fact that the profits are already being taxed at 20% before any dividend is taken into account.. also, the foreign domiciled/resident will not have to pay any UK tax on his dividend
Basically what I am trying to achieve is to reduce as much as I can my yearly taxable income..
How easy is to do this? Perhaps make him a 70% shareholder?
Tanks in advance
