    UK Ltd Co, Working & Residing Abroad?

    Good Morning,

    I am currently a self employed 'Day Trader', trading anything listed on the London Stock Exchange. Below are some of my details:

    - I have a permanent residence in the UK (25+ years)
    - Turnover is around £70k pa
    - Work derived solely from a PC


    Having recently looked into the benefits of setting up a sole director 'Limited Company', would anyone be so kind to explain some questions i have:

    - Im interested in moving abroad (EU) to a warmer climate, (France, Switzerland, Spain), and im interested in how residency and tax laws apply?
    - Is it complicated to live and work in a foreign country as a director whilst still paying UK corporation tax?
    - Presumably the 'work' will have taken place where i reside, hence income tax will be applicable?
    - I would like to live abroad for anywhere between two and infinite years, hence setting up a foreign ltd co maybe a hassle if i only stay there for 2 years?
    - Particularly for Switzerland is it hard to rent a 'homeoffice' given my situation (residency issues?)


    I have not yet incorporated into a Ltd co, as im interested in emigrating, however i was planning on doing so in the near future, particularly if the foreign residence (with a UK ltd) issue was not overcomplicated.


    I found this thread partially answered some of my questions:

    Any information would be gratefully received and i thank you in advance.

    All the best,

    Alan
