UK Company
Formation
It is a process primarily handled by business formation consultants, as it involves navigating UK regulations. The process typically involves these steps:
Claim Your Free Consultation
UK Company Registration
This part of the process is handled remotely and can be done from the UAE.
- No physical presence required: You do not need to travel to the UK to complete the registration
- Requirements: You need at least one director and one shareholder (who can be the same person), and a registered UK office address.
- Documents: You will need to provide certified copies of passports and proof of address for all directors and shareholders.
- Companies House: The UK's government body, Companies House, is responsible for the incorporation of the company. The process is often fast, with some online applications being approved within 24 hours.
Taxation and Compliance
- Tax Residency: Registering a UK company does not automatically exempt you from UK tax obligations. If the company is effectively managed from the UK (e.g., board meetings are held there, or key decisions are made by UK-based directors), it may be considered a tax resident of the UK by HMRC and liable for UK corporate tax.
- CFC rules: The UK has Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) rules that can tax undistributed profits from a foreign company if it is managed from the UK and operates in a low-tax jurisdiction like the UAE.
- Reporting: It is crucial to comply with both UK and UAE reporting requirements to avoid penalties. You may also need to keep separate bank accounts to manage UK and non-UK income effectively.
