Relocating a Company to the UK? Why Consider the Dixcart Business Centre

There may be several reasons why individuals wishing to establish a company in the UK might consider the use of a Business Centre, providing not only serviced office capacity, but also substance. Business Centres can offer a productive work environment and a cost-effective option for organisations with international interests wishing to operate from a particular location.

A company establishing itself in the UK will require premises for staff, and for any company set up in the UK, management and control of the business must take place there.

Substance and Value Creation

Substance is an important factor for organisations to consider, especially international companies wanting to establish subsidiaries in other countries. In addition, measures are being implemented around the world, to ensure that corporate tax is levied where the real value creation of a business takes place.

Companies must show that the management, control and day to day decisions concerning their activities are taken in each specific foreign jurisdiction where they have a branch or subsidiary, and that the company itself operates through an establishment that provides a real presence in that location.

Tax Advantages Available to UK Companies

  • The UK has one of the lowest rates of corporation tax in the western world. The current UK corporation tax rate is 19%.
  • There is no withholding tax on dividends.
  • Most share disposals and dividends received by holding companies are exempt from taxation.
  • Controlled foreign company tax rates only apply to a narrow classification of profit.
