Expanding from AU to the UK?

Navigating UK Company set up is not for the faint-hearted. Is the business name you want available? Are your shares beneficially held? What address can you use if you’re trading online?

It’s overwhelming but that’s what we’re here for. We’ll manage it for you so you can direct your focus back where it’s needed most.

This service includes:

• Setting up a standard UK registered company
• Companies House registration*
• HMRC registration of Corporation Tax, VAT and PAYE
• Standard Articles of Association
• A basic share structure

*This includes registering your Company name, business purpose, registered address, business address, shareholders, Directors details (up to two directors), Persons of Significant Control and financial year end set up.

This service does not include more complicated structures, such as parent companies, or non-ordinary shares, such as preference, golden or class B shares. We can help you with these too, but let’s talk first so we can find out what you need and provide a quote.

Pricing:

£200 + VAT
(excludes Companies House and HMRC application fees, which will be charged directly to you)

No one likes tax (except us), let alone in a different country. In the UK, it’s all about HMRC (HM Revenue & Customs), which is similar to the ATO in Australia but… different.

Let’s just say, there are still a lot of forms and a lot of government speak.

Luckily, it’s all very familiar to our UK Team who have more than 10 years of HMRC experience. Lucky them! 😉

This service includes:

• Company tax return
• Financial accounts
• Income tax return
• Annual tax planning
• Tax return lodgement

Our fee:

• £450 – if your company is non-trading
• £1,650 (or £125/mth) – if your company is trading
• No lock-ins
