Items related to Using a Company to Save Tax
Synopsis
By running your business through a limited company you can save tens of thousands of pounds in tax and national insurance.
Why? To start with UK corporation tax rates are often much lower than income tax rates. Secondly, company owners can pay themselves dividends, which are taxed much less heavily than other forms of income. Finally, setting up a company with your spouse or partner allows you to split your income which almost always results in a lower tax bill.
That's not all. Tax increases which came into force in April 2010 (plus others on the horizon) mean using a company will produce even bigger tax savings in the years ahead!
This tax guide tells you everything you need to know about using a company to legally shelter your hard-earned money from the taxman.

- Anyone wanting to escape high income tax rates by using a company.
- All sole traders and partnership businesses.
- Existing company owners who want to pay less corporation tax, income tax and national insurance.
