Do you own more than one limited company?

Many business owners assume each company is assessed separately for Corporation Tax. However, if your companies are classed as associated companies, the tax thresholds may be divided between them, potentially increasing the amount of Corporation Tax you pay.

Common factors such as shared ownership, management, staff, premises or financial links can all influence whether the rules apply.

Understanding your business structure early can help you plan more effectively and avoid unexpected tax consequences.

Understanding UK tax residency rules has become increasingly important for internationally mobile individuals, remote workers and business owners.

Spending more time in the UK, maintaining accommodation, or carrying out work duties in the country may still affect your UK tax residency status — even if you primarily live abroad.

Key factors that may impact residency status include:
• UK day-counting rules
• Midnight presence in the UK
• UK workdays and employment ties
• Family and accommodation connections
• Travel record accuracy

For individuals frequently travelling between countries or planning relocation, reviewing residency status early can help avoid unexpected tax exposure and compliance issues.
