Tax is an important consideration for any business and the structure you chose impacts on you throughout the evolution of the business. This applies whether you trade as a sole trader; partnership, limited liability partnership, single company, group of companies, UK or internationally based.

As businesses grow and succeed it’s important to consider the taxes on your income, be it income tax on the trade or corporation tax on the company. VAT registration, either voluntary or compulsorily will change the way you account for things and may change the way you are perceived. The acquisition of equipment, premises, offices, factories all have tax consequences and should be considered. Remuneration strategies for you and your staff are vital to the way the business is run. All of these can affect the business for better or worse.
