UK Limited Company Formation- Company Formation United Kingdom

Company Formation United Kingdom: DTAs

Double taxation agreements, sometimes known as double taxation treaties, are designed to protect against the risk of an individual or a corporate entity being taxed twice where the same income is taxable in two states.

We are in the process of adding to the list of treaties shown below but in the meantime the majority of our Double Taxation Agreements remain in the Double Taxation Relief Manual.

England has a double-taxation agreement = DTA with most countries. EU freedom of establishment is applicable. From a European point of view, NO commercially equipped business operation is required for the approval of a tax operating business in England, and neither is the proof of any active business in England. The English income tax amounts to 21% for medium-sized businesses up to a profit of £300,000, and then progressively increases up to 30%. By bringing forward an Isle of Man Limited, the income tax load may be reduced, i.e. the profits are distributed in the Isle of Man Limited, which results in a lump-sum tax of £450 per year.
