Limited Company Tax & Accounting

What is a limited company?


What are the benefits of being a limited company?


One of the biggest advantages of running your business as a limited company is the significant tax savings you could make.

Limited companies are subject to corporation tax, which is currently 19%.

If you are a director and shareholder of a limited company, you can choose to take a small salary and draw most of your income from the business in the form of dividends.

By doing this you can minimise the amount of National Insurance contributions you have to pay as well as only paying dividend tax on the income you take from the company, rather than income tax on all your earnings!

Distinct entity and limited liability

A limited company is a completely separate entity from its owners, this means you have reassurance of ‘limited liability’.

Assuming no fraud has taken place, your ‘limited liability’ means you will not be personally liable for any financial losses made by your business. This means a limited company can give you the added personal protection should things go wrong.

Professional image

In some industries being a limited company can help improve your professional image by giving credibility, and making you a more attractive business to work with.
