UK companies seem to be so cheap and easy to incorporate, so why is not everyone using them? What are their drawbacks?
 
You have no privacy and you need to maintain accounting and filing a tax report‌ each year. So there are not really any good tax incitament for foreigners living outside‍ the UK to setup a company there.

Just my 2cents...
 
UK companies are not offshore at all, as admin said there is not only the‌ incorporating front price to keep in head to maintain the company.
- Tax
- Accounting‍
- Annual return
- Registering adress fees.
It's always the same you need to find⁠ the country that fit your needs.
But if you look for offshore it s definitely⁤ not there.
 
A lot of‍ people do use them. They are cheap to setup as the UK wants to encourage⁠ open investment in its economy and entrepreneurship without barriers.

The problem is they don't work⁤ for every bodies needs. As mentioned the drawback now is zero privacy unless you use⁣ a trust, tax and I would add Brexit and HMRC rules. Until the UK reduces⁢ its corporate tax rate to below 15%which will 100% happen if no brexit deal is︀ struck thu&¤# plus reverses (slim chance) the open company register they have I would personally avoid︁ for now.

UK corps is for straight forward business and if you have large pockets you can‌ get huge tax benefits. For the average joe on this forum it's not a way‍ to do tax avoidance.
 
Regarding taxation, I saw this on a website. Is this information correct regarding the "no‌ company taxes"?
 
I think answers above refer to Ltd, but there's a big difference between Ltd and‌ LLP
 
Whats the major difference between the two entities?
 
private limited company (LTD) or a limited liability partnership (LLP)

LTD you pay company taxes‌ | 1 owner
LLP you pay self-employed taxes | 2 partners minimum
